nice to see you

it's been a while

The perfect stranger



It is for you, you the perfect stranger
Yes you are, to me you always will be.
I saw you but could never tell, that you
would put me through a storm
Which would leave me wanting for a million
more like them.
A storm so perfect, makes it impossible for a
Poet to put in words, a doctor to treat,
a driver to steer, a lover to love, a blind man to hear,
a deaf man to sense.
Its hard.
But there you were, sitting next to me, smiling.
Your cheeks shining from the sunlight
falling on your face so graceful, yet supple, at the same time charming?
It is hard to put you in words
But somewhere after I gathered the courage to speak to you
I realized.
I realized that this conversation was something I wanted
to spend the rest of my life in.
Why wouldn’t I?
Your smile, your laughs, your jokes, my sarcasm
Your hair blowing from the wind, skin lit up from
the sun, my happiness, my feelings, your words
Why wouldn’t I ?
We parted ways, but I couldn’t.
my mind couldn’t
my heart couldn’t.
I was still there with you. My mind was there with you, my heart was still there
with you.
The voice in my head kept telling me, but my Jim beam helped me even more.
Jim, the glass, told me in the bar that I sat in, in the airport,
He told “go to her” “run for her.”
I said “**** you Jim, you know what ? I will go to her.”
“you will?”, I said to the glass “I will”.
Slammed down the glass and went out the bar with only one thing in my mind.
You.
Yes you, only you, you alone.
I ran…...I ran….I ran for you.
Looked around for that thing of beauty, but no.
I ran around all the places which had turned dull
They had turned dull, because you were the light
And I couldn’t find my light anywhere.
Everywhere I ran I saw darknesss
But not you. Not light. You were gone
I had realized all that as I was being stared at by everyone near me…
But I couldn’t care, I wanted you, my light, my heart,
You weren’t anywhere.
You were lost.
And were lost forever. But how can I ever forget you.
You are my perfect stranger, yes you.
you are, and to me ,
you always will be.
