How

How can you...
Look without seeing?
Hear without listening?
Hurt without violence?
Love in complete silence?
How can we...
Learn without knowing?
Expect to be seen without showing?
Want to be more without growing?
Enjoy a river without it flowing?
How can I...
Love and not hurt you?
Cross over without going through?
Be a friend that's true?
Understand what to do?
I long to have the courage to start anew...
