You found a way to take down my walls
The walls that had been built by one of your kind
Every other day, they got stronger
Because everyone but you
Added a piece of gravel
Why then would I call you a stranger?
You made me aware of my flaws
You owned them like we were one
You helped me find a way to correct them
You taught me that I could stil be perfect
You made me feel that I could have my nose to the grindstone
How then can I call you a stranger?
The long night deep talks
The constant phone calls
The therapeutic embraces
What was all that ? Incessant need?
Bosh!
How then can I call you a stranger?
We enjoyed each other's company
I knew I had met my soulmate
I felt your presence in your absence
I felt your absence, never.
I still feel your presence in the depth of my thoughts
Why then would you still be a stranger?
How then can I still call you a stranger?
No Stranger
