I walk on the street
I see strangers passing by
So I look in people’s eyes
There I may see a surprise
I talk with people I don’t know
Just someone I met at work
Talking comes naturally
As I see a person I remember
I’ll ask how you are
And we’ll talk for minutes
Time will pass by
No one will notice
For we’ve spoken
In a time which feels like hours
And yet it was only a moment
A brief conversation
That felt like an intimate assignation
As I barely know the person
Whose moment I took in time
Stopped to chat and say hi
As I looked in their eyes
Seeing a potential surprise
