Strangers

stranger from a distance,

I don't know you, and 

you don't know me, 

despite our existence

I wonder how eloquently you speak, 

or how beautifully you think

I wonder how much ice 

you like in your drink,

or if your blushed 

skin turns rosy pink

whether or not you 

see in small detail,

whether or not you care 

about the things you feel

stranger from a distance,

I know about you, and 

you know about me, 

despite the resistance 

I wonder how 

much we're alike,

or how you're doing, 

are you alright?

I wonder if you glow 

in ultraviolet light,

and if you treat people 

respectfully, are you polite?

stranger from a distance, 

we may never meet again

I wonder if you'd be 

willing to come 

over here and 

be my friend
