A/N: Now I usually don't post poetry, but maybe a pattern is emerging because this is my second one! I just couldn't help but post it! I got the inspiration by one of my reader's pen name - Stranger To You - and like it so much that the idea for this poem popped in my head and I just had to write it! So this poem is dedicated to Stranger To You.


Stranger To You

A stranger to you

I look from afar

I watch everything you do

But you don't watch me at all

A stranger to you

When you smile, I smile

When you laugh, I laugh

When you're sad, I'm sad

But you don't realize

A stranger to you

I know your shirt needs to be mended

And I know your hair needs to be cut

I know your smile shines even brighter than the sun

But you barely know me at all

I'm a stranger to you

I know you'll wave if you see me

Say hi then walk on by

You won't know what that does to me

I'm a stranger to you

I know you'll care if I'm hurt

Root for me when I'm losing

But come tomorrow, you'll forget about it

I'm just a stranger to you

When you enter a room

You're all I can see

But to you I'm invisible

I'm just a stranger to you

Your strength becomes mine

Your courage becomes mine

Your determination becomes mine

But you are your own

Because I'm just a stranger to you

I'll love you forever

Silently wait to see your smile

Patiently watch for those blue eyes

You won't notice

Because I'm just a stranger to you

Then one day you call to me

Shout out my name

I can't help but blush

I thought I was a stranger to you

Your smile is just for me

And I can't seem to speak

Your eyes are too close

Aren't I just a stranger to you?

You start flirting

And I start stuttering

And you start laughing

And I start falling

Weren't I just a stranger to you?

When I wake up you're still there

Peering down, concerned

Your eyes shows worry only for me

But shouldn't I just be a stranger to you?

You take me in your arms

Tell me never to do that to you again

I'm melting and almost do it anyway

Because I thought I was just a stranger to you

Then your lips are suddenly on mine

And I'm really melting now

I think I'm wasting away inside you

I was sure I was just a stranger to you

Then you look at me with those eyes

And my love is reflected there

And when you say those words I die inside

I'm no longer a stranger to you
