Just a stranger

In the quiet expanse where strangers roam,

We never met—no eyes exchanged a tone.

Yet, in the flicker of laughter on a screen,

A tender spark bridged what fate had not seen.

Not a crush nor love, but a fragile light,

That danced in pixels through the silent night.

I wondered if you tread the same fleeting time,

A ghost of today or a whisper of rhyme.

In the laughter echoing from distant space,

I found a melody of warmth and grace.

We never spoke, not even a word,

Yet your smile was the sweetest sound I never heard.

Perhaps it’s nothing, just passing through,

A moment that's mine, not meant for you.

Maybe it’s just me, lost in the glow,

Of a face I saw, but may never know.

My stop came, and yours did too,

Two paths diverged — silent, true.

No glance, no word, just fate’s design,

A brief crossing, lost in time.

At the end , you were just a stranger, I

Never knew.
