The Most Familiar Stranger Poem by Shamal Akrayi

((FOR KATE, THE BEAUTIFUL CHOCOLATE))
All I want is to see ynu smile,
In the world of reality,
I thought I could not dream, could not hope.
That is, until I saw you and your smile.
In the web cam.,
there was no color, no harmony,
but all I need is the melody,
because of your smile.
Maybe I'm just a stranger to you, as you are one to me.
However, I feel that we are the most familiar strangers,
just because of your smile.
Recently I found our are the same,
will they be together for ever?
I hope so, because
I'm afraid to miss your smile.

Maybe your smile is just a dream,
but as long as I see it,
that is enough for me.
