Passing Stranger

As you pass by me, you look up and you smile at me
It was she, it was he, that I searched for as a dream
For I know I have lived somewhere a perfect life with you
As we walk down this hall: fluid, chaste, affectionate, mature

You grew up with me, you were a girl or boy with me
We are tied and we're bound by spirit, flesh and blood
You can guess, you can see the ties that bind us mercilessly
Though you're there and I'm here: majestic, loving, passionate, assured

You walked with me, you talked with me
Your thoughts are not yours alone
You share, I share with you

With a wink and a nod, you open up the door for me
I walk through, you come too, separate, proud, questioning, and pure
