Familiar strangers

When you saw me on the carrousel You knew you had found love You waited till I had fun with my friends Before approaching me with steady steps; When my friends saw you approaching They knew what was bound to come They gave way for the two of us You asked me out and we took things from there; We were having the best time of our lives Until suddenly you slowly slipped away. Your rose to the highest pinnacle of your career And had many opportunities on your path I watched you slowly slip away from us Into your people of interest Slowly my heart was turning numb to your feelings So we decided to each go our own ways; From afar we watched each other go about their duties And remembered the moments we shared together We walked on different paths with different motions and emotions; As we pass by each other we feel our hearts beating at a faster rate And that is when we realize we have become perfect yet familiar strangers.
