Strangers with a purpose A deadline to meet Both too young for the pressure Of the world at their feet

There's a smile on her face And a shine in his eyes They were open to the world But sometimes it hurts and lies

Naive and innocent, She was trying to be great Innocent and charming, He wanted to be her mate

Both different objectives But secretly wanting the same thing "Just say something you idiot" His mind seemed to ring

The meeting was coming to an end Soon time for her to go He had to tell her Let this stranger know

But she was gone too soon Before he could say more Before he could take her on a date She was out that door

But they were just strangers Caught up in working life He hoped that one day he'd see her again To release his heart's strife

They were just strangers Without a single clue Strangers with a purpose But only if they knew

They were strangers met in a daydream Two strangers met someway Strangers met in person Two strangers met imaginatively today
