( Written for W3 Prompt #100: Wea’ve Written Weekly )
( I don’t know if one finds any introspective perspective in this… but if not, I will INTROSPECT myself 😊😀 so request to deem the introspection version included to that extent. 😜)
There are ones we spent the whole life with and they remain strangers. And then there are the ones we meet for the first time and never part afterwards. It’s about you O! stranger, stranger for only once, strangely enough that how could you be a stranger though when-
you were there in my lyrics,
You were in my life like a vase of flowers
when It feels like knowing you for years
that came to me only now.
O! stranger, stranger for only once…
color of my dream is spread now
that you came into my heart like a heartbeat
that every breath is coming through a clarinet
O! stranger, stranger for only once…
like a soothing prayer in the darkness
when night comes, solitude beckons
to sing songs for your charm
O! stranger, stranger for only once…

Good morning and see you later…
