Familiar Stranger

The more I look at you
The less I see

The more you say
The less I know

Attentively ignoring you
Missing what I used to see

Frozen emotions flow free
Erasing what used to be

A familiar stranger
That is what you have become to me

Love it, it explains just how people easily walk into your life and easily walk out.
