A Stranger, Who Is No Longer A Stranger

By Shifana P

It's strange that you have a friend
who was a stranger ONCE.

It's strange that a stranger
Turned to a friend
Who is much connected
Than your old school friend.

It's strange that a stranger
Turned to a person 
Who knows you 
More than yourself.

It's strange that you 
Started to trust a stranger
More than your
Old school friend.

It's strange that it's 
A stranger who
Offers you a shoulder to lean on
Whenever you need.

It's strange that
Your stranger celebrates
On your wins
Than your
Old school friend .

It's strange that 
You cannot stop
Writing about that 
Stranger
Whom you haven't met yet.

It's strange that you 
Can find your whole 
World within a 
Stranger
