We were not friends
We never have been
You were a stranger
So was I
We never exchanged tokens of words
Shared embarrassing stories about
Our childhood memories
We never smiled at each other
Or did we?
Was that smile from the corridors
reserved for me?
I wished you would glance at me
Not like how you would glance
At a stranger passing by
But like how you would
At a potential soulmate at a riverside
Oh how I wished
I could tell you all this
But the fear in my chest
Gate Keeps all my wits
Tell me dear
Oh my stranger
Will we forever be
Strangers from the hallways?
