Respect

I respect the mind of a questioner,
Providing a thinker more than a guess,
That comments all over the gambler,
Seeing a godly figure have world-caress.

To understand the feelings of our friends
Is to understand the feelings of ourselves

To hurt the feelings of our friends
Is to hurt the feelings of ourselves

To underestimate the feelings of our friends
Is to underestimate the feelings of ourselves

To take care the feelings of our friends
Is to take care the feelings of ourselves

To love the feelings of our friends
Is to love the feelings of ourselves

To respect the feelings of our friends
Is to respect the feelings of ourselves

To maltreat the feelings of our friends
Is to maltreat the feelings of ourselves

There comes a time when you realize
that all you've been doing for so long
has been wasted time.

One tries so hard to ignore it
Tries to believe that everything is just as it should be
As it used to be
But it's not.

If you look hard enough you'll see it.
The absence of what used to be
The absence of love
The absence of lust
The absence of respect

Suddenly you realize that attention
Respect
Love
Are all coming from somewhere else
Not from where it used to be
But a place you're looking to.

You look for it from others
because the reality is
Its no longer where you thought it was.

Nice...
