Strangers of Perfection

People passing across the way, No one smiling as they walk by. A child cries in the corner alone, For her friend will never again return home, A man walks up to ask what's wrong, But once I come she is long gone. I want to help her, I need to help her. So again to the rescue comes the doctor. He gives me her wallet and I begin to look. I find her in a small nook. "You've been following me" she says. And i reply "yes". She no longer cries, And she's without tears in her eyes.
