Acquainted

 Walking on the sand beads on a beach
Confused and rattled, filled with defeat
I saw a stranger down the line of sight
Her face illuminated by the moonlight
"What a soft little person"
I thought to myself
A simple aversion
Of the obvious tells
That filled her face
And filled mine too
We're both acquainted
With the suffering we've been through
And normally we're both content
That's something I could tell
About the person that was headed my way
A lonely night surrounded by the ocean's scent
Both of us aren't humans, we're fey
Coming along from two different worlds
Colliding together with unimaginable force
She was an image in my head
And I was so in hers
She filled my mind all the time
And I was hers
She was me
And I was her
The two of us
Are one and the same
We walked together for a while
Hands held together with a smile
We knew nothing about one another
And yet, we felt like we were each other
We sat down quietly on a calm spot
Each of us inside our hearts had a knot
So we took turns to try and knock
On the closed doors that barred our inner clocks
Time was frozen for the two of us for years
Two strangers sitting under the starlight
Coming together, an amalgamation of fears
Refusing to believe in wrong or right
She spoke her heart out and I listened close
Overshared too much with a stranger here
It was that night that I had chosen
To try my best to kill her fears
And then, like clockwork, it was my turn
I told her far more than I should have
She smiled and nodded at me in return
For a single moment she was all I had
Myself and her sat there, watching the sunrise
Acknowledging the sleeping time of our starry skies
For I was hers, and she was mine
Even if it was for one night
She was absorbed into me forever
I don't know about her side
How could someone be so clever
I couldn't decide
But all I know is that she now represents
My better side
My sweetness and my calmness
My nodding and my smile
My confidence and my knowledge
Of the world deep inside
Each of us has their stranger
This might've never happened
But to me it's very real
That moment, nothing was greater
The ocean was applauding and clapping
And we really had no fears
