Dear Stranger
Dear Stranger


Dear stranger,
Love isn’t what you say it is;
Learn life lessons,
From one you once knew;
Learn life lessons,
From people giving you a cue.
Today, strangers we are,
Once married two kids, we bear.
Learn life lessons,
From one you once knew;
Learn life lessons,
From people teaching you a few.
Dear stranger,
What happens overnight isn’t love-
It’s compromise
What happens at sight isn’t love-
It’s lust.
What happens after a coffee isn’t love-
It’s infatuation.
What happens after work isn’t love-
It’s convenience.
Dear Stranger,
The girl who you called ‘ugly’
Was in love.
Dear Stranger,
The girl you called ‘fat’
was immensely loved.
Dear Stranger,
The boy you called ‘
a pretty face’
Once, broke your acne heart
Has a couple of degrees
While in search, for a girl who went
“Oh boy, oh my gosh, u LoOkiNg kayoot”
So let’s see if he got what he sowed.
Dear Stranger,
Love isn’t what you say it is.
Don’t belittle the purity;
Don’t belittle its serenity.
Don’t pretend your expertise;
Don’t pretend you don’t advertise.
Don’t make it obscene
Don’t make it bleed
Keep it clean.
Don’t term it chaotic
And in turn, justify it to be poetic
It is what it is
Different yet indifferent
It’s generic yet specific
It’s beautiful by itself for it only highlights the ugliness around
It shows how many aren’t right for you,
While you pretend to look for the one you could call, your beau.
