Sometimes the Stranger

Sitting across from
The stranger
Is easy
Sitting, talking
Ever so sly
Avoiding the details
Dodging the questions
Creates a mysterious air
And a hint of a challenge
All leading you to think
That you've fallen in love
With me
My cheshire cat smile
I remain unknown
And I am comfortable
In my cloak basking in your smile...

Things change
The passage of time
And you are not the stranger anymore
And inevitably my cloak must come off
Because you're not smiling anymore
Naked, my soul is bared
And I am so very vulnerable
No air of mystery
No longer
Do you think you love me
And I find myself yearning
To be the stranger
Once more
