The Stranger

3 1 1
                                    

He lovingly held the cup of tea

And oh how I wished it was me

I longed to be beneath his touch

When he softly turned the book he clutched

Why does he not see me gazing his way

Hoping just for a glance some day

If only he knew how sad I felt

And he had the power my heart to melt

But every day when we pass

He looks through me like I'm made of glass

This stranger who sits quietly

Sipping at his cup of tea
