hey stranger

hey stranger

you don’t know me

and you might never know me

but i talk to you of my innermost thoughts

and my deeply concealed profound feelings

something i rarely do

to even friends or strangers like you

hey stranger

would you walk with me awhile

feel the quiet beating of my heart

blending with the soft whisper of your hair

but in the silent corner deep inside

a person devoid of any pretentions

i pour my heart out with no inhibitions

hey stranger

it’s easier to talk to you

for i know i don’t need to be afraid

of being vulnerable and naked

because the road too soon divides

you would soon be on your way

while i stay to delight in what’s left of the day

hey stranger

i’m sorry if i had been a bother

i know i took much of your time

when you would want to be somewhere else

than walking on this road we’re on

and there’s nothing much left to see

but a very grateful and appreciative me

hey stranger

now, we have come to the road’s end

but before you go i want to thank you

for touching my life in countless poignant ways

and being a significant part of my journey today;

life is never easy and i hope somewhere

when you would need a stranger… i could be there.

[su] this is for you. you're the inspiration for this. i think you know who you are. thank you for being my stranger at this time. you don't know how much you're doing me good. i'm sorry for bothering you though.
