when strangers cross paths

when strangers cross paths ~
it hurts when the one person you thought wouldn't judge you

that he'd listen to you that he wouldn't lie to you

, that he wouldn't hurt you that he'd be there for you

.when all you want is eye contact

but every time we look at each other burns flames of fury,

flames lit by lies and the truth lye's within the flames ...

but which of us will extinguish the fire to discover the relieving truth

so then i look into your eyes only to find that you care

but to care you have to listen

but you've shut off your ears with your back towards me and i'm trying to face you but

then you walk away leaving me there in the silence once filled with echoes of laughter

heart in my hands ready for you to receive it but see

that love once there fades into a slim existence

from strangers to friends to lovers back to strangers ,

strangers that once hugged that once kissed that once cared that loved strangers

that thought fate was reason and together is where life would end

but apart is close together as they get back to love

loving from a distance... never to love again never to care never to kiss never to hug

just memories that were once so clear now blurred

when strangers cross paths~
