Strangers

I saw you on a crowded street.
For a single moment our eyes did meet.
Something stirred within my mind.
A memory of a different time.
Kissing, hugging, laughing and crying.
Two hearts beating, one was lying.
Fighting, hurting, wanting, and wishing.
There was always something missing.
Anger and resentment burned a hole.
Distance separated soul from soul.
Love was banished from my heart.
I needed to move on, make a new start.
Life went on as time slipped by.
Empty and lonely waiting to die.
I saw you once on a crowded street
You looked at me, our eyes did meet.
It was then I knew without a doubt
What heartache truely was all about.
For in those eyes as cold as stone
I felt nothing, I felt alone.
No words were said, no pleasantries,
Nothing but the summer breeze.
Once we were lovers on a journey together,
Now we are strangers separate forever.
