If you want to get to know me
You have to verbally communicate
Not by clicks on glass keyboards
Just because it feels safe.
If you want to get to know me
And you’re within visual contact,
My neighbor, my family or
My friends are the last ones to ask.
If you want to get to know me
And we’re in different places
Then we can video chat
To speak and see each other’s faces.
Verbal communication makes
Ways to vibe flow with ease
Whenever you have the time
We can shoot the breeze.
I’d like to get to know you
But you need to understand
Communication is a two way street
Not a one man band.
I’d like to get to know you
Even before we publicly meet
So your voice is recognizable
Even if we’re being discreet.
I’d like to get to know you
But you don’t seem to get it
Communication makes progress and
Silence is always regretted.
You can start with general questions
And I will reciprocate with similarities,
We’ll each gain a better understanding
Perhaps even share commonalities.
The ball's in your court.
