Hey Stranger
Hey stranger
The guy I thought I knew, was you
And still is
Who knows what happened to separate us like this
My mind knows who you are, but my heart cannot perceive
This strange disconnection is impossible to believe
And yet it's true
Hey stranger
I watch you from afar, benches away
And yeah, I know your name
Get this feeling you know mine too
How strange
Rainbows and b-ball and banks, oh my
I know your favorite things to do and you know mine
Extremely extraordinary
And yet we do
Hey stranger
I'm not supposed to talk to you
'Don't talk to strangers' is still a rule
But the more you become a stranger
The stranger I become
You know everything about me
And yet we're still strangers
How can that be?
We've resorted to handshakes and polite hellos
No more conversations or distraught calls
It's the poignant truth
How two so close could move so far apart
Puzzles me
And yet we have
Hey stranger
Who are you?
You could be inquiring the same of me
Who knows?
Who knows why I'm missing this stranger so much
And yet I am
Who knows why this separation makes me feel so sad
And yet it does
Hey stranger
What's crackalackin?
Shouldn't we see where our kinship is lacking?
I'm writing this poem specifically for you
So you can see what you wanna do
Hey stranger
I don't wanna be a stranger anymore
Can we catch up sometime?
