Zoom out.
You’re a stranger
Walking a few feet away
From the girl behind you.
You’re a stranger.
Holding the door, politely
For the girl behind you.
You’re a stranger.
Walking a few feet away
From the girl behind you.
Zoom in.
You’re everything
I wanted and
everything
I left.
You’re me in
another physical constraint.
You’re my secret keeper
The holder of the keys
To a world unknown to most.
Zoom in, zoom out.
Either way, you’re a stranger now.
