Sietzen

Ich sank in das Unbekannte Sessel

Als eine Welt plötzlich einen Eck verlor

Und merkte, dass nach du und ich 

Standen wir nicht mehr,

Das Wir steht nicht mehr 

Zwischen dir und mir.

I don't know if you know other German people on tumblr (who you don't know in real life) but I was just wondering... Would you use du or sie when you talk to them? Or do you speak English?

It always depends. If they are something around my age or younger than me I will use “du” but if you talk to an adult who you don’t know personally it is always more polite to use “Sie” when you talk to them. (I think you can even sue people if they use “du” towards you without your permission, if and when you’re an adult.)

"Du" is much more like "hey, you I know you" or "we’re on the same level". It’s hard to explain because in English because they don’t have such a dichotomy.But when you’re friends with someone, you will want to use “du”.
