From Something To Strangers

It’s hard to sit here and figure out what we were,

Because the past few years have kind of all turned into a blur.

I know we weren’t lovers, but I also don’t think we were just friends,

And it feels so weird that all of a sudden it came to an end.

And it has been on mind lately, what I would do,

If I were to ever end up running into you.

Would we say hi and hug like we always do?

Or is there now too much tension between me and you?

Would you say hi and at least acknowledge that you know me?

Or would you pretend like I was someone that you didn't even see?

It’s so weird to think how so much between us has changed,

And it feels so unfamiliar and strange.

Sometimes I wonder if you think the same,

But at the end of the day, we only have ourselves to blame.

Because it didn’t need to be like this, this isn’t how it needed to end,

But I guess it is part of the process until you and I make amends.

To be honest, I don’t know what I would do if our paths ended up coming to a cross,

Because I so badly want to make sure that you know it is your loss.

Would I pretend like I don’t know you, and hold my head up high?

Or would I smile at you and wave and say hi?

It’s easy to think one thing until that time were to come,

But it’s so much easier said than done when you think about where all of this is coming from.

I wonder if you would look away and pretend to be shy,

But part of me also knows that you are not that kind of guy.

Maybe you would say hello and be kind,

Or at least, this is what I tell myself in my mind.

It’s scary to think that it could happen since we are in the same place,

And I guess I would love to see one last time, that smile on your face.

But I guess for now I will never know,

And I will do my best to just try and let it go.
