Strangers

Why is it so that some strangers do not feel like strangers?

Paths
Meeting, somehow
Strangers stop
And greet each other

Smiles exchanged
A few words
Then it's time to say good bye

Some go on
Without ever looking back
Some look back
For one more smile

Some strangers
Walk away
Leaving a bit of themselves with us
And taking a bit of us with themselves

this is so true...and we don't stop often enough to give others a chance to enter our lives...we stay aloof and alone and so protective of our own selves.

Love this. I wonder this all the time. It hints at something mysterious and curious.

Yep, got the chance to give the first review...
Very true, some strangers do not feel like strangers at all. There may be some connection in the hearts which our minds never know. When a feeling arises in you, it's the feeling of the heart and not merely your mind. So very often people are unable to judge at emotional points. May be your heart feels like something enchanting is there in a person which makes u feel that you are not the strangers, but u already know that person.... very good poem, descriptive and elaborative...
