Familiar Stranger



And if we ever meet again, we’ll be introduced as strangers.

Because the people we are today are so far from the people we used to be.

So, shake my hand & say my name like it’s for the very first time. Rolling off your tongue like a mystery, manifesting in your mind like a puzzle you have to solve. 

Just remember baby, things weren’t always so great or easy – before we dive in & get queasy from the wild roller coaster called “Us”.

We could try this again; alter our actions & harsh words for a chance at a different ending.

We haven’t talked in such a long time, but I really hope your life has been easy for you to live – seeing that face staring back at you in the mirror. (A reflection of your guilty heartbreak & trauma) 

Leaving was not a word in our vocabulary. Leaving wasn’t something that was supposed to happen. 

Creating darkness in something so bright it was blinding; sucking me into a black hole of your creation.

This time let us step into the light, illuminating all the cracks & dark spaces in ourselves. 

This time we should see what’s missing from our hearts, so one day when we meet again we can fill those dark spaces with light.
