A Stranger As I Am

A stranger, we were, the first time we met Like freshly transformed butterflies, we had no regret One thousandth-worth of questions; we wanted to know While we mingled with that one promise; we couldn’t let go A stranger, we were, meeting for a second time And by slowly devouring our fears, I found you in I’m Below us, lies the moon, playing games like a thief And then you entangled me with your religious belief A stranger, we were, until we became friends When we started sharing our thoughts under a special lens We let, not one night passes by without saying a word Refreshing each memory along with the early birds We’re now friend for life and we’re strangers no more With only the depth of the heavens, to answer for We’ve come a long way and have uncovered a great deal We’ve been strangers in dreams; it’s now time to make it real By Wilbert Dela Cruz
