I looked at you as a stranger
Even though I know your favorite color
Pink, because you thought it was cute
You talked differently to me
Even though I remember that smile
Especially when you laughed at my jokes
Your gestures moved stiffly
Even though I remember how it felt
Being embraced by them as we lay together
Your eyes seemed normal
Even though they used to light up
When I gave you your favorite sweets
Your hands are stilled
Even though we talked about marriage
Your ring size, which golden band you preferred
Your tone is quiet
When it was loud, passionate
As we talked about our future and dreams
We had some distance between us
Even though your warmth, your hair
Was laying on my chest before
You spoke quick, punctual
When I remember your slangs, accent
Speaking freely and comfortably around me
You were so reserved
Even though we told each other
"I love you"
There was tension
When it used to feel safe, opened
Calling each other "home"
We said goodbye
When we used to say
"Always and Forever"
Strangers once more
Like in the beginning
But ending just as that
