Hello, Stranger, Goodbye



The moment my eyes laid on her, I knew.
The laughter between us.
The way we look at each other.
I knew.
The moment when she held my hand.
I knew.
We are two strangers connecting uniquely.
Unforgettable night.
With an amazing person.
What else can I ask for?
The only thing that’s on my mind,
“What's next for us?”
Or is this what you call a one-night stand?
A one-night stand that I will never forget.
Just needed time to see,
That moment will become a memory.
And the memory that will fade away,
In time.

The distance between us.
You and I are just a moment in each other’s lives.
We started as strangers.
And now we go back to the way we started.
The end.
