Strangers

We are strangers, you and I
destined to nothing,
but a hello & a bye.

a casual glance, a smile
a desire to make merry
Before reburying back
Into the blackberry

Strangers? Not quite yet
You and I

A salsa of the uncertain,
Of half hearted steps,
uncomfortably taken
unbeknown of a how & when
a catastrophic miscalculation

Aint we strangers any more?
you and I

days when dreams annexed reality
nights when fantasies conquered chastity
that disappeared in a crimson tsunami
disseminating any honour left or any vanity

No we aren't strangers any more
You and I

And when the malice's passed
With the years gone by
When we've shed our tears
& laughed our guts away
A life fruitfully withstood

It may be then,
it may be then that you look back
retrospect back memory lane
a stranger that you knew
and wonder
Wonder if he remembers you
