To a Stranger

When I was down- When I was kicked And did nothing, You stood up for me And you didn't even Know me. You didn't even Know my name. You chastised Your own friends- For me. You helped me up, Apoligized for them. You even risked The relationship With your girlfriend Because her friend Thought it would be funny To put me down. You never asked For anything in return. You just wanted To make sure I was alright. You made her Leave me alone (For the most part). We never spoke again, But I assure you I did not forget What you did, and How you made the difference In my life. If only I could repay you- Thank you stranger.
