Have we met?      
We have not.
Shall we meet?
Most likely not.

How can it be that those we think we know best,
we find we don't know at all?
How can a stranger seem so familiar,
that quickly, and hard we fall?

Is life about being proper?
Some believe so.
Is life about living in the now?
Still others say yes.

Who is it that truly sees who we are?
Who is it that never sees who we shall be?
The familiar so quickly become complacent.
The stranger keeps an energy ever-present.

I ask you again, have we met?
Perhaps our souls have.
I ask again, will we meet?
The stranger believes that in time all things are possible.

So it seems that potential supersedes the given.
Society believes that fate decides for us.
Who we have met.
Who we will meet.

Were it so, we wouldn't keep searching.
A lack of faith may be what causes us to accelerate through life.
Place your faith in a stranger and change the course.
With history repeating itself without benefit why continue down the road most traveled?

Are you the stranger I should place my faith in?
