Lanuginous

Polar bear hair is translucent, yet it looks white from far away. That's a misunderstanding, isn't it? Like the words we speak but don't really understand. Like the things I mean but can't find a way to say correctly. Like the meanings I want you to take away from this, the truth of what I feel. You don't need to compromise yourself for me; that isn't what I'm asking. In fact, I didn't ask anything at all. I was just trying to give an honest answer. But something didn't click, and now you've gone, and I'm left here trying to solve the problem on my own.
