\nAdmit something:
\nEveryone you see, you say to them,
\n\u201cLove me.\u201d
\nOf course you do not do this out loud;
\nOtherwise,
\nSomeone would call the cops.
\nStill though, think about this,
\nThis great pull in us
\nTo connect.
\nWhy not become the one
\nWho lives with a full moon in each eye
\nThat is always saying,
\nWith that sweet moon
\nLanguage,
\nWhat every other eye in this world
\nIs dying to
\nHear.
