Unstretched: In Love With a Stranger
I'm in love with a stranger-
So much so that even these unknown streets seem familiar.
I'm knee deep and my heart is bleeding on my sleeve but I don't mind,
In fact my mind feels free for the first time in a long time.
I'm getting visions, hallucinations of her dancing on the pavement next to me-
I see her everywhere- notes of her laughter are floating through the air…
I want to ask her to dance with me-
I'll twirl her in circles in the drizzle till the world spins us round its axis
And drops us off, dizzy, wherever she wants to be-
We won’t be thinking about tomorrow tonight,
Just her and I and how the stars seem to be aligning just right-
She'll take my hand and I’ll show her not all boys are blasphemous in their intentions….
If she decides to say no, I hope she lets me down easy…
I won't know if I'll get the chance to try till she answers this with a no or a yes but,
Until then, I'm in love with a stranger, and I'm hoping for tomorrow again.
