But WAIT.
Wouldn't it be lovely for everyone on campus to befriend each other?
Then our cheeks can hurt from smiling
Our arms exhaust from heavy hugs
Our voices tire from caring
Our hearts euphoric with love

Because I saw your face today
As you were riding your bike humbly by
I wave and smile
You reflect the notion
I repeat a degree more enthusiastically
And you reflect once more when you realize who it is

Because I saw you walking with a friend across the street
And I shout hello

Because you saw me and thought I didn't remember you
But I did, I did

Because our paths crossed one another in a time unfamiliar
You acknowledged me with a nod
A curtsy of the mind
I smiled
To you, then to the leaves

Because I walk around trying to smile to strangers
Then you smiled as if you were my undiscovered grandpa
Mouthed "hi" and raised a wave
We shared that moment didn't we?

Because being engaged is much more beautiful than the repulsion of the ego
And patience is kinder to the heart
And sharing the Wonderful makes the souls forge together
"Come my friends, 'tis not too late to seek a newer world."
