Just a Question

How are you? How many times have you said it? Now think of what you're asking.
Do you really want to know,
Or is it just your way of saying hello?
But what if you were told, what was really bothering someone
Would you leave and let them be,
Or would you take some time and listen to them?
What if they pour their hearts out to you?
After all, you did asked.
Would you say a few words and pass by,
Or would you help or at least try?
What if you're in a rush?
At the movies or at the mall.
Is "How are you" what you really mean?
Are you willing to listen in a time of need?
Are you ready for what somebody might tell you?
Or did you expect a simple, "Fine" or "All right."
If that's the case then you have unfortunately misunderstood.
For "How are you" is a question of concern
that could cause a lengthy response in return.
So, be sure to say exactly what you mean.
In order to avoid a situation
in which you may not be able
or have time to handle the conversation.
Now, I'm not trying to judge anybody.
I sometimes say it myself by mistake,
and when they let their feelings flow.
I think "what the hell did I just say that for?"
Sometimes I really want to know,
and other times I'm saying it just to say hi.
So, I try to think of it this way
"How are you" is similar to "I love you."
Which also should be said rare,
because they both show someone
that you're listening and you care.
~~This May Not Apply To You~~

| I love this. It's so true. I've learned to just say "fine" when someone asks b/c I know they are just saying it. I just say "i'm ok" when really someone could be tearing me up inside, b/c I never know whether they want to know or not. I LOVE IT!! |
