Is it possible to like you?

I don't even know you.

Our eyes have met before,

But we are strangers, nothing more.

Still, you noticed my silence.

You touched my life, though just a moment.

My heart skipped a beat,

Did you actually talk to me?

Then you said, "Don't be so sad,"

And gently tapped me on the forehead.

I watched as you walked on by

Somehow that small gesture made me want to cry.

How I needed it, a touch, a few small words,

It eased my pain, gave comfort to hurt.

Just to hear your voice, see your smile

Makes me believe I'll be okay, if only for awhile.

Maybe your words meant nothing to you,

Just a greeting while passing through.

But to me, they meant everything

When I felt like I was nothing.

Maybe my love is shallow,

But it gave me more hope that you know.

Because you cared enough to smile

And talk to me for a short while.

And I hope someday I can return the favor,

And show you how much you really matter,

At least, to me.
