Familiar Stranger

I remember standing in an empty kitchen

Holding our first apartment key

I felt like I had found something

I could spend my life trying to keep

The absence of that feeling

Consumes me

I remember driving across the country

Following you somewhere I didn't want to be

When I stopped my car in Woodley Park

You hesitated before you hugged me

Like I was some familiar stranger

Always visiting

Now I just stare through these beautiful women

I think they probably stare through me

If you and I were looking for the same thing

I guess you found yours before me

So now I don't want to know you

Whatever you decide to be
