Strangers Again?

By. Kylie Conroy

She ponders the way

that you held her all day. 

She questions the depths

of your knowledge, 

Both inside and out. 

But there was no wonder 

That those hands on her shoulders 

No one else can know her. 

Single glace, all it took. 

And just one small look. 

How you knew it all 

And to catch her fall 

In the blink of an eye 

And a subtle goodbye. 

Words that were said 

They fade off the page 

And all that remains 

is the smudge of the pains. 

If only they knew, 

What you used to do. 

Again, as she blinks

Her heart starts to sink. 

She questions again the moment 

It ends. 

It all disappears 

And here comes the tears. 

Both happy and sad

Now we're strangers again. 

Is this how were left? 

Is this what love is? 

Mistakes and Regrets 

And my heart will still ache 

As I think and I remember 

The memories we made. 

Are they all photos 

Of what we used to know? 

You once were a stranger. 

And i'll never forget 

That a simple hello 

Can lead us to a painful goodbye.
