The Other Person

Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.

I’m much to anxious too have an ideal day,

But sometimes I fall in love with the idea of falling in love with a stranger

Just like how a tear drops from your eyes unintentionally when you’re laughing so hard.

You know the type that doesn’t roll down completely, but just hangs on your dry cheek

And yes it feel weird and uncomfortable, but it came at this best of times

That’s how I want our love to be,

Bumping into each other on our way out of a place we didn’t want to be , but had to

Deciding that , that 5 seconds that our eyes locked was more important than the rest of our lives

Risking it all in a one day adventure

And at the end of the day, I know your favorite color

Your favorite type of tattoos , although we both don’t have one

What hurt you the most as a child,

Your goals and dreams, all the lies you’ve told.

I know you more than I know myself and I’m in love with you

And I see in your eyes that you’re just as in love with me too

But the thing is we’re just a tear that dropped unintentionally and we cannot just lay there forever uncomfortably

At some point, we either have to roll down completely, or be wiped out

But that’s okay, because the 5 seconds that we lived together in a loop we created

Holds enough memories than we’ve ever or will ever experience in a day (ideal or not)

And I don’t even know your name.
