Poem for a stranger

Poem

You don't know me

I don't know you

I look up and I see

Your eyes have moved too

We do not talk

We do not speak

We just walk

We are weak

I walk down a hall

Your thoughts on my mind

Do your eyes move for all?

Was it some kind of sign?

I get where I'm going

And I start to head back

There's no way of knowing

There's too much I lack

Yet my mind races

What would it be like?

I think of all the places

Of all the sparks we could strike

I think of the feel of your skin

I feel the danger of my thought

I think of the awful din

I feel of lessons long taught

I see you in the side of my eye

The urge to look is too strong

And unless my mind perceived a lie

Your gaze lingered a bit too long

But the moment is over

We proceed with our day

And now I'll think about her

But never what to say.
