we 'know' each other...

did we share a single roof
did we cross the same floor
did we possess a sole landscape
yet we are not separated from each other

we owe each other an explanation,
our feelings need a genuine narration,
yet it should not be deemed indecorous
and unduly familiar, because
we are close to each other

we try to sit down and
suddenly we spring up,
but only to sit down again,
though our agitation makes it hard to sit still,
yet we do it, for we are sensitive
not to hurt and trouble each other

how much do we know each other?
that doesn’t matter,
though it is very little, we are sure
that it is very good and dear,
there is beauty and nature,
all kinds of landscapes and feelings,
there we belong to each other
