The known stranger

It was just the other day,

when I was accompanied by my mates,

with giggles followed the smirks and laughs.

The sights on us went unnoticed.

For a moment, my face was frayed,

as I incidentally noticed those eyes.

those left me whimsical with my heart pondering.

my brain recounted the scenes, shared with her to me.

Those weren't really needed,

I never really had to recall.

For, the part of the person was with me,

but the scenes, shared were weakened.

I wished to hug her as we used to before,

but wondered if the hug would be back tighter,

I wished to tell her secrets and incidents

but my lips went heavy wondering,

if the ears would really care to hear.

the millimeters were now kilometers

as the hearts couldn't hear each other.

I saw my new friends to whom I can tell my feelings,

but was gloomy over the thought,

that the moments won't be again with her.

I said 'hi' and beamed radiantly, 

with awkward courtesy which was new.

I saw in those known eyes whom I had known so long

But averted my gaze, as they were

nothing more than known strangers now.
