If We Were Strangers Poem by Nivedita Dutta

Considering each other as members of this universe
I wonder how it would have been if we were strangers
How lonely i would have felt without you
I wouldn't have stopped laughing then, i know myself
A happier life you too would have lead
I feel lucky that i didn't miss being your friend
I had laughed a lot but out of joy
You made me see what happiness is
If we were strangers
I had been deprived of thing called life
Which i learnt from you
Seeing you in tears i too wanted to cry
It was your love that  made me unlock the deeps
Of the ocean called heart
If you weren't there to share
My pain would have been mine alone
My school days would have been a great hardship
If you weren't there with your friendship
