Never met

This poem is about two strangers meeting and the exchange of energy that lingers between these two

Tell me the story of your sorrow.
How deep do the roots of your pain go?

Explain to me how we got here.
Diving into a shallow pool of deep conversation:


Tell me stranger, A strange story with your eyes.
Tell me, How can i feel your absence when we've only just met?
Tell me, Why does time remain our best friend and worst enemy?

Sitting across from me on the train, avoiding my eyes but compelled to glance.
Tell me stranger, why haven’t we yet met

it's almost as you've
already dove head
first into this love
of a stranger..
why are train rides romantic?

One of my favorite authors once said you can fall in love with someone with a single encounter. And that encounter can be as short as 2 minutes. Thank you for the review Bacchus.

I really like this. 2 strangers sitting across from each but haven't met yet but want to. Makes me think of my own things and things that weren't said....longing for something. Nice work Dutch

Thank you JP. I agree Divya its happened to me many times but I never really knew how to capture it verbally until this poem. Thank you. :}}

Oh this happens so much yet no one wants to put words to these fleeting occurences. Yet for the soul, they could be as significant as others. Thanks for capturing the magical feeling.
