when it doesn't want to be written
it hides in plain sight,
between a forest 
and its trees.

when it doesn't want to be written
it distracts and fogs,
with likes 
and tweets.

when it doesn't want to be written
it tickles your neck,
like a string
or stray hair.

when it doesn't want to be written
it scoots right up,
beside your brain,
then disappears.

hello.
I'm happy you're here.

are you?

loved or lost,
taken or tossed?

dropped or caught,
romanced or not?

bugged or beloved,
hugged or shoved?

from you to me
and me to thee

i really believe
it's nice to receive
some kindness 
on 
valentine's day.

so take it to heart
from this small start
a click
is when friends
can be made.

so,
one more time,
let me be clear.

hello.

I'm happy you're here.

Keep talking folks,
keep listening,
keep making eye contact,
keep close,
keep asking to help,
keep offering,
keep asking how ya doin’?,
keep it real,
keep waiting,
keep following up,
keep vigilant,
keep giving,
keep it honest,
keep your DMs open.

Keep being present.

Today.

Everyday.
