Strangers
When is a stranger
No longer considered a stranger?
From brief locked eyes
to urgent surprises
when our shoulders met
It’s difficult to place
when our relationship is replaced
with the title of acquaintance
For you and I
shared locked eyes
and your pupils dilated in size
battling with recognition
For if you were a stranger
you’re a thief to me
Because I no longer have that moment
when our eyes did meet
So because I gave you my time
And I made yours, mine
I think I consider you
a welcome acquaintance
Because truly,
I would never
give a stranger
the smile
I gave to you
