Vast seas of placement

How did we meet, Was it out there on the crossing paths of the street Eye contact interrupted by the buzzing of the bees A bus and trolly wafting a cool breeze through the air towards me We could never know because it's only a single serving interaction A single packet of cream on an airplane A single serving packet of asprin Something that will never amount to the idea of what my eyes wanted to claim But in that moment stranded in time, away from everything else The lock of two strangers eyes can amount to all that I needed to see To help me know what I alone could be The anonymity of your life to mine the mystery is what makes it a beautiful lie Not a lie in the sense of a falsehood But rather in the sense of placement on a fairway The geographical landscape of our lives, In which I can spot you and you can see me But we remain never to interact And live on our lives in the vastness of our own the sea of lies
