He saw your reflection <br />In the window as you passed. <br />He saw a smile, <br />But knew it was masked. <br /> <br />He followed you out. <br />But kept a safe distance. <br />He wanted to talk. <br />But not in this instance. <br /> <br />As he watched from behind. <br />And fell in love with your grace. <br />This must be destiny, <br />The right time and right place. <br /> <br />He blinked, for a second too long. <br />He knew not where you went. <br />Being afraid, <br />Was this stranger’s lament.<br /><br />Amanda Miller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-stranger-s-lament/
