Stranger Danger

I like that we’re strangers That our late night intimate fights Are actually just late nights of random conversations with a random stranger The internet came with a whole lot of bad but surely the beauty of an online friend was above it I like that we’re strangers That I can talk to you on end Or maybe after the three day cycle ends And I’m finally free again That we pick up on our conversation with so much ease it feels like I’ve known you for years I like that we’re strangers, that I hear you laugh and think “wow” Know that even if nobody else around me thought I made sense, somehow you, the stranger from the internet fully understands me I like that we’re strangers, I wish not for you to know more You know me so intimately yet know absolutely nothing about me I like that we’re strangers, this version is exactly who I never want to tarnish in your eyes Please, let’s stay strangers Let the depth of your knowledge be so shallow that it allows you to drown ankle high because of the intensity of what you know about me. Dear Stranger, I love you with a passion and yet I wish you never learn my name My our true lives never collide so I can always cherish the memory of who I believe you are
