Hey Stranger!
You and I were supposed to meet this way
Eyes lost in the horizon of brilliant hues of the setting sun,
My favourite time this, this magical dusk
That turns every drop of water to a potion
And makes this fleeting moment on this beach seem like our forever
…
Hey Stranger!
You and I were supposed to walk this way
Our feet playing hide and seek with the water
Everyday and the next
Recounting stories of the previous night and our lives
Laughing at some half-forgotten memory of someone’s wedding
Our footprints polaroids of an ordinary life
….
Hey Stranger!
You and I were supposed to drown in each other’s eyes
And find language in the touch of our hands
And walk out into the sunset
And make love and make stories
To live the truth we were born to live
Hey Stranger!
You are closest I have come to love in a long time
You are the reason I still dream…
