my dearest stranger

dear sml

Met you on a hot summer's day,
You wore a look that took me away.
Your slippers odd, didn’t quite match,
Watching you leave, my heart did detach.

Three months passed to know who you were,
Little pieces of you, made my heart stir.
We dropped hearts, without knowing names,
But I felt connected, as if it’s the same.

Why did you stay, dear stranger of mine?
Two years later, your face still shines.
Am I a memory you sometimes keep?
A fleeting wish, in your heart so deep?

I miss you more than I can say,
When you return, can we find our way?
Maybe it’s best we stay in our dreams,
Where nothing is real, or so it seems.

How could I find you, my dearest one?
When will you return, when the day is done?
I knew for a second, you weren’t hers to hold,
Could you leave her, and make me feel whole?

Under the same sky, we both share this pain,
Under the same stars, it’s all just the same.
I know nothing but your name so bright,
You know nothing of me, lost in the night.

I’ll work so hard just to see your face,
I’d trade my life just to feel your grace.
One more time, stranger, if we had met,
I’d never let you walk away, no regret.
