Dear Stranger
I saw him from afar and my heart paused.
The sparkle in his eyes kicked me into another realm.
For a second I was drawn into my own fantasy world.
Damn his stature was just the perfect size.
The one I always wanted and yearned for.
When he smiled that was the end of me.
Was it a coincidence or maybe fate?
But anyway, I love the scene from where I am standing.
Your presence made my heart stop and race at the same time.
The tingling feeling inside my heart I never felt before.
Goddamn I loved the way you made me feel.
I think your main purpose was to resuscitate my heart.
The heart that was once wounded is showing a glimpse of life.
Black and hard as a stone but now it’s soft like young baby’s bottom.
It is true guardian angels exist, and you, my dear stranger you mine.
I know you not mine to keep, but thank you for bringing life back to my dry bones.
So I will leave you be and just enjoy the view from afar.
Although I will never see again, you will always be special to me dear stranger.
You may not know I exist but just know that you changed this poor soul’s life.
Dear stranger, I just thought I should put our encounter on paper.
