For him whom you don't know

I once felt a connection to someone
I once felt something so strong
Something so strong that I actually felt something
Felt something for the very first time

I once felt alive
I once felt alive in that connection of the eyes as I peeped into your soul and I saw so much
I saw so much
As we clicked away our fingers
And you were there
You were right there
Right in front of me
Confidence oozing out of your core that your hands shook
Your thin hands holding a gun to your temple asking why it's called a temple
Your hands shook

I saw the purple flower that you talked about
That purple flower with white spots in your girlfriend's backyard
That your hands shook
Eyes
Connected
I clicked away my fingers

I once felt a connection
I lay awake as I slept
Because your hands shook
And I clicked away my fingers
Ask me what I do
Ask me what I do
I write here and I stare at the paper as I stare into your eyes through this ink
I wore black
And you, a mask of imperfection
You made me feel
Because your hands shook
And I clicked away my fingers

This is for you whom no one knows
And to the one who thinks this is for him, it's not
This is for you
Those ten minutes we met and the five I saw you on stage
Only I know of them
Only I know of them and I forbid all of those reading to interfere, to connect

I'm writing because you saw a universe in that flower
You said you're a hypocrit, as you what you know
So I do
I ask you what you know and I know
That you'll never know
That I saw you
When you clicked away your fingers

This is for you
Only for you
Even though I don't know you
I don't
But you made me feel a connection
I couldn't look away
Because your hands shook
As I waited and clicked away my fingers
