The Conversation Conservation
You have a thousand friends you talk to
Not directly but all at once
You must be careful what you’re saying
Or you won’t get a response
Put that phone down and look at me
Talk to me with words not text
I want to hear your thoughts whilst free
Not your “considered what comes next”
Take the time to come and see me
My face has lines I used to laugh
On a screen you just see through me
A never aging photograph
Your mind needs more than all this traffic
It needs real memories it can touch
Life is not a competition
You can have too little... and too much

Face to face is now out of fashion - even when together the face is looking down at a screen and not at each other - read this a couple of times and it just gets better.
So very true Andrew, I see it all the time, especially where my wife and I go for coffee. I just don';t see the point of sitting at a table opposite each other and having heads down looking at a screen. Personal conversation is so much more rewarding.
true words spoken well and true...
So very true in this too busy age is the lack of face-to-face communication - thanks Andrew for this well written reminder.
