What I would think to say
To be true
Like someone you once knew
But no longer love
Is the same as a stranger might say
To someone like you
Beautiful
But distant too
Hoping we will remain friends
After we meet
Instead of the way of the stars
A part of every dream
But never touching
Never knowing
Only looking
Longing
Alone
In the midst of disappointment
Where hopeful strangers once walked
Only to be reminded that it happens that way
And though while caution knows best
Our hearts will this time not set again, until
The fear of heartbreak no longer speaks to us in the night
