The Stranger

By: Kenneth Stepp

Unfamiliar movements, unfamiliar thoughts, unfamiliar sights, feelings, smells, sounds and thoughts. This is a stranger.

To find yourself is a place with a person, unsure of anything and everything. You are sure of nothing. You are only sure that this person is unknown to you. This is a stranger.

Today we met. We knew nothing of one another. you caused me to think of my flaws and my shortcomings. Yet you overlook them. Do they know me? Is this a stranger?

My disillusions, hurts, painful memories, and haunting past seems to subside while I am with this person. Is this possible? Are they not a stranger?

My radar is going off, my walls climb to the very top, I am protected by my past hurts. These have arrived to protect me. To protect me from this stranger.

I have escaped the grip of them. I am now safe again. Safely in my sanctuary with others that care not for these issues in my life. I am safe from this stranger.

“I met my love today. The only one I will ever love. The person that completes me and I complete. I love them forever and stand lost. So lost. Without cause, without reason. I will love forever someone that never understood who I was and the love I brought. I am damaged and confused. I will love them forever. I accept my fate. I will love from afar. What could have been will never be” - The Stranger
