Mary Nagy - Did We Meet?

When you met me today
all you saw were
empty pockets.
You didn't care to notice
that my heart was overflowing.

You saw my dirty shoes
but didn't see that it's
the clean livin' that
gets them that way.

You heard I don't
go out much
but you didn't even ask
if I know how to
have fun.

I don't think we really
''met'' today.
You surely didn't
''see me''.
You didn't stop to
''hear me''.
When you find
what you think
you were looking for
I hope it doesn't leave you
wondering.

Mary Nagy
