Were we but strangers
naturecitymusictime
Were we but strangers
Passing on the stairs
Jostling shoulder to shoulder
On an escalator
Waiting for an elevator
Standing at a bar
Did we touch
Share a smile
Did our eyes meet
In reflection
On the far side of a window
Walking in the street
Waiting for a coffee
Shuffling in the queue
To board a train
Minding the gap
Running for a cab
Wet through
Shaking an umbrella
Seeking shelter
From the rain
In a cafe doorway
Taking care
To give one another space
Barely looking
At each other’s face
How could we not know
When I would
Know you anywhere
