Familiar Strangers

by Run out of words   Jan 11, 2007


From playing hopscotch together,
and sharing an umbrella in stormy weather.
To sitting at home with the barbies,
and making dumb but cute tea parties.

Like best friends we were,
Like best friends we could be.
In this story there was no \"her\",
It was just you and me.

All of a sudden,
a long silence struck our faces.
I don\'t know if you\'ve noticed but I did,
Between us there grew huge spaces.

It\'s been more than 5 years now,
And I\'m still dumbstruck wondering how?
How did we go so apart?
We were such a fine piece of art.

All those friendly words of yours turned into sarcasm,
you smile on the face but I have no idea what\'s within.
And everytime I tell you to be nice,
You think I\'m kidding and you roll the dice.

But I want you to know it\'s not a game,
And if to you it is then let me tell you it\'s really lame.
And if you\'re feeling the same,
then why isn\'t your tongue tame?

We\'re complete strangers now,
and if you ever come on my mind somehow.
I have a sense of confusion,
because I have no idea if I\'m under a dillusion.

But what I find really strange and sad,
What I find really makes me mad.
The question which in my mind constanly lingers,
is how we became such familiar strangers.
