stranger
      I see you everywhere
in the shop
                       on the street
all around town
                   we meet all the time
       our eyes connect briefly
maybe we exchange a smile

    when we sit beside
each other
              maybe we say "hi"
chat about the weather
or the traffic
                          lightly
                                  carefully

stranger
       you could be anybody
a mother
      a father
                           a brother
                      a sister
a dreamer
              a searcher
a striver
                            a loner
a friend
        you have a life
you have feelings
                        emotions
          fears

stranger

when I look at you
                              I wonder
what your life is like

I wonder if
      you wake up with smiles
or tears
            if you enjoy your work
or are itching to get out
     if you are searching
                          for your dream
or have already found it

stranger
    when I look into your eyes
I see
    you're a person just like me
