Known Strangers ~ Rtr. Anuja Somthankar
It’s gotten to the purpose where she won’t speak to me
Already once I’ve tried only to be ignored
And I have decided i actually won’t try again
It’s gotten to the purpose where I don’t want to ascertain her
Not how I even have no interest in hanging out
The point that I don't want to be round her
And yet there's not ill will
I bear none, I detect none
I want none, but I don’t realize her
She doesn’t care about me in the least
And I really can’t say I look after her
What are we then
Not friends or enemies or strangers
Or are we strangers again
Can we be strangers again
After all this point , purely nothing
Not a thing to every other
I think I’d like that
Or maybe I’d hate it
Maybe both, I don’t know
But I do understand
That something we worked so hard to create
Shows no sign of itself nowadays
So it appears we are strangers again
Well, I suppose there’s a bittersweet tinge
To knowing it and feeling it
I wish I could see with new eyes
I wish I could remember what it seemed like
I wish I could find out what it's they see
When they check out me and find nothing
Because now it seems we are just strangers,
Complete strangers once we travel by one another ,
Complete strangers when a lover needs another friend,
Complete strangers now for better or for worse.
