Loving a Stranger - by Brittany Renee

 

Can you love a stranger?
Someone you don't formally know?
Or is this task an impossible
thread to consider even to sew?

To persecute a soul that is melting
by the love that is far in the distance
is only but a foolish thing
for it gives the lover no resistance.

Their hearts leave a trail of thread to lead them back to fate.
Neither of them know they ever left so each will have to wait.
