Description
I love the stranger who sits before me at the table in the café.We sit so formally, our conversation polite, reserved, safe.
How odd that just a few (long) months ago without a second thought
I would have reached for his hand,
Or brushed my leg against his beneath the table.
His face, once so familiar I can no longer read.
I barely know this stranger before me
And yet my feeling of love
Hangs heavy in the air between us.
Awkward and self-conscious
Not knowing what to do with itself.
I do not fear that this stranger will steal me away,
But rather that I will know him less and less,
Until I cease to know him at all.
