In The Middle Of A Crowd

In the Middle of a Crowd

Ever been alone, really alone, afraid, frightened
no eye contact what will I see, in you, in me
heightened awareness my own space which you easily invade,
with looks, glances casual whispers
such a paradox I crave to know you discuss, reflect relevant issues,
hear your hopes be friendly with someone new
new experiences lives shared joys, pains heartaches is this realistic
can I allow, myself to blend with the crowd.
