Familiar Stranger

 I looked up just as she walked in,

Perfection,

She was the one I was waiting for,

Yet neither of us knew it,

I'd never seen her before,

Yet she seemed so familiar,

Like the stranger I've missed all my life,

A familiar stranger.

She looked back at me,

Mystery,

Her eyes betrayed the same thoughts,

The same hidden recognition,

She knew me, yet she didn't,

She missed me,

As I did her,

A perfect stranger.

Our eyes locked,

Excitement, 

I waved and she waved back,

She smiled and I smiled back,

I stood up and she turned to me,

She walked to me and I reached out,

Our hands touched

And I knew I'd been waiting for her.

We embraced,

Passion,

Not a word spoken but a meaning known,

Our hands locked and we danced,

We looked into each other's eyes

And held each other close,

The embrace lasted a lifetime

With a stranger strange no more.
