why are you a stranger still?

i stood there a solitary figure


forlorn, lost, and a little bit lonely


a void in my heart, a hollow emptiness


the music played, the crowd danced


i felt a presence, the room brightened


saw you in somebody's arms


a rhythm in your steps, your composure cool


suddenly you made my world come alive


i found a strange affinity


undescribable in words


shamelessly i looked for you


stared deep into your eyes


desperately longing to feel you gently


the music stopped


you sat on the railing besides me


geared up courage and spoke to you


you answered me your voice soft


we conversed casually, how was i to utter


that i wanted to tell you much more


that we cannot remain strangers


not when i felt the way i did


not when my mouth went dry


as we talked lightly


not when i fumbled with words


when i looked into your deep brown eyes


not when i wanted to hold you tight


and kiss your tender lips


but how was i to explain


that you mean much more to me


than just anybody else.
