Perfect Strangers

Today we started over,

And it became easier for me to breathe,

It felt like i found a seven leaved clover,

I feel completely reprieved.

 

Now i can work at fixing things,

Instead of driving myself insane,

Thinking we'd never be the same,

And now that we are starting again,

I hope i can take back everything i said,

Let's act like i never liked you.

 

We were always perfect strangers,

And now we want to try and be friends.

 

Let's believe,

I didn't like you in that way,

I never said I love you,

You were never the one thing always on my mind,

And you have never made me cry,

Or ask myself why,

I've never lost myself in your eyes,

My heart never held a flame for you.

 

All of that never happened,

Because we were always perfect strangers.

 

I've never talked to you before,

I don't know you like 'Where every you will go by The Calling,'

I have no clue your favorite animal is a dog,

I don't know if you like purple,

Or if you like paramore.

 

Because we have never talked before,

We have always been perfect strangers.

 

And most important of it all,

You have never seen me,

At my worst,

The incident never happened,

We never had that problem.

 

Because you didn't see me,

And we are still perfect strangers.

 

Now my dear,

We have started again,

Strike up a conversation,

After all we are perfect strangers,

Who know what we'll find out,

We might fall after all,

But don't just sit there in silence,

Otherwise we might always be perfect strangers,

And i don't know a greater loss,

Then never getting to know an amazing stranger,

Like you....
