Honest with a Stranger

[ilovereg]

I want to be honest with a stranger. Tell them let's talk. Have fun.
Over coffee.
Or on the beach, with sand on our toes.
Or on a waiting bench, in the park.
Or in the bus, whilst stuck in traffic.

I want to be honest with a stranger.
Tell them my name. Then my favorite food.
Or color.
Or my work.
In no particular order.

I want to be honest with a stranger.
Tell them, talk. And I will listen.
Tell me your name.
Your favorite color. Or food.
In no particular order.
Then tell me more.
And more.
And more.
And I will listen.
And talk too, when you pause and wait for my response.
Or when you need my help to churn out the words in sentences
That maybe
I can finish.

I want to be honest with a stranger.
Reach out
Shake hands
Smile
And say
It's nice to finally meet you.
