Poetry

Stranger

I don't know you yet
But I reckon when I'll see you for the first time
Our heartbeats will harmonize
It'll start snow falling but we won't feel
a single flake
It's gonna be a golden day

A stranger's face will feel like home
A voice that calms down a fidgety soul
I might not look into your eyes, can't even call you to look back, how can I? Don't even know your name?
You're still an unknown

A stranger who feels like home
But I reckon when our destiny will intersect, I'll breathe in the scent of your love...
Suddenly! I'll begin to feel perfect.

I don't know you yet
But I reckon when I'll see you for the first time
Our heartbeats will synchronize
The melody will take away all the pain, tears fading away into the rain.

I feel your eyes smiling, is it for me? For an unknown?
I always wondered and asked my moon
Does a stranger could ever make you feel like Home?
