thinking about the stranger who made my day when she smiled at me on the street because i randomly made eye contact with her,

about the way i smiled a second too late

thinking about the stranger who held my arm when my foot got stuck in a bush on the way back home from a concert,

about the way my feeble thank you might not have reached his ears

thinking about the stranger i knew, once, a friend, i hope,

they ebb, and flow; in, and out; come, and leave

(“and stay?” “sometimes.”)

thinking about the stranger that i know,

who brushes my arm in the corridor,

i smile feebly; she does too (does she?)

and then, we cross paths, and leave.

stranger that I know,

why do you feel like home,

to me?

stranger that i see,

there is something that pulls me.

to you,

stranger that i find

i am losing my mind,

over you

stranger oh, stranger

stranger that i know,

i would bare my soul,

to you.,

(..with just a word;

maybe that is why i run)

stranger, why do you feel like life to me?

when you pass me by in the hallways, it becomes hard to breathe.,

stranger, how am i to tell you,

that you remind me of my favorite shade of blue?

(and the moon.// and music// and laughter// my kind of person// intimacy// and quiet nights// in cityscapes// and the sound of rain// and thunder shooting up my spine// into my veins// my hands shake// you blind me// oh stranger// made of light// made of dark// made of mystery// made of stars// you are an enigma// made of art// and a muse// with a golden heart.)
