Sonder

Lately I’ve been feeling,

These feelings of sonder.

Like you live a life,

Where I don’t wander,

In your mind,

In your stories,

Which you tell,

People much fonder,

Lately, I’ve been feeling,

All these feelings of sonder.

Like you love a soul,

To whom you say things much bolder,

With your heart,

With your love,

You say with affirmation,

You know her,

Lately, though I’ve been feeling,

All these feelings of sonder.

Like you see me as me,

Where I am just a muser who can only ponder,

With your words on my mind,

With your heart on my soul,

I can only yonder,

But, lately, I’ve been feeling,

All these feelings of sonder.

sonder – n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own.
