Stranger

They come and they go. Here and there, Never staying, Always taking, Never giving. Getting so close, But never enough To look them in the eye. It's better this way. No feelings, no complications. Expectations only lead to disappointment, right? I'm not easy but Im only lying to myself. I know who I am, where I'm going, But not what I want. It's not enough. But what is? Who is? Am I? Unanswered questions, Unfinished business. I now live my life by the "What if." Always wondering, Never doing. You asked to be a stranger, So that's how I'll treat you. Gaining little and Losing nothing. They come and they go. And then become someone I used to know.
