They met under the blossom tree
When the wind blew hard
And the rose petals' sprinkling on the meadow lane
She hoped to capture the grandiose
When he gently sat beside her
He filled the air and her somber
Broke the silence and the freeze
Hello, Bonjour and Nihao
How rare of her speaks to a stranger
For hours they sat on the bench
Talking about the forgotten beauty en vie
And stories of trivial
His eyes were on her sedate flank
When the cherry caught her rosy lips
She saw the flame booming in his cerulean eyes
Like the gunmetal blue sea he's eager to show her
'Take the no.8 and you'll see
I'll bring you on if not tomorrow'
A courageous traveller as he was
She knew not to disturb
Nor to jumble
She refused his good intention
As she knew
Never he's for her
Nor she's for him
Walked along the garden till the lane's end
No yesterday
No tomorrow
Just for the moment as it existed
Said their goodbyes and vanished in twilight
Their serendipity ends
When the hour's over
They mutually understood that
some moments needed not to be broken
Some words were meant to be unspoken
It was all about one day
When a boy and a girl
Met on a breezy blossom day
The Stranger
