"Perfect Stranger"
And suddenly
I see you,
like the stars
reveal themselves
out of daylight,
I see you
Why couldn’t I find you before?
Where did you come from?
And why does this
perfect stranger
care about me
of all people
I was fine,
content even,
before I met you
but you gave me
a gift
that I didn’t even know
I needed
How dare you give me
everything you have
and make me
feel
like I had forgotten how
Because every moment
that I can’t have you
hurts
in a way that only lovers know
But I guess that’s what we have been,
lovers,
since the moment
you stole me
from my unknowing, naïve
peace
and called me
yours
