The Complete Stranger

a poem by Deeksha Marur

I’ve found you but I’ve lost you!
I’ve kept you but you’ve slipped out of my hands
You’re oh so close to me… now just completely far away
You were the same but changed now

One minute I know you inside out, but the next I don’t know you at all!
One minute we’re the best of friends and the next we’re complete strangers…
I wonder who you are… and what you’re intentions are
All I know now is that you’re a complete stranger

I, once knew who you were and stayed on though you’ve changed…
I tried hard not lose what we had…
The perfect relationship of being best friends
But I guess we’ve lost it all…
Lost it cos of me…
Cos of you…
When we’re together its so weird to be talking to you as if nothing ever happened…
But I blink my eyes and realize you’re a complete stranger and so am I!
