Stranger

A Poem by Sumo

I saw you from a distance
And knew from an instant

That I would be too afraid to utter a single word
Scared anything I say wouldn't be heard

A smile, maybe a wink. I express
Wondering if it'll be enough to impress

Walking past me you provide nothing but a kind glance
Making me believe that there just may be a chance

If only I could work up the nerve
Instead, I can only observe

Nameless, nothing more then a fleeting memory
Just fortunate I was in your trajectory

No misunderstandings, no preconceived notions
No misplaced emotions

Just a helpful hand that comes from the soul
I'm the only in one in your audience and you stole the show

Hoping to cross paths with you once more
So I can show you, it's you I adore

Staying true to myself, no reason to lie
I just wish I'll be there again, the next time you walk by
