of the shy

You think I’m arrogant,
but my shrugging ist just to mask
my not knowing
what to say.

You think my lack of questions
is a sign of disinterest
but what’s lacking
is only the courage to ask.

Only because I don’t join
your chit chat
doesnt’ mean I don’t feel comfortable
in your company.

Walking besides you
in silence,
means I’m trusting you
with what’s growing in it.
