THE FRIENDLY STRANGER

I talked to a friendly stranger today,

I didn't really get his name but,

 I learnt a lot from him,

I just let go of the stiffness within me,

It was so refreshing to make someone laugh again,

It was fun to talk to someone that wanted to hear,

My opinion on things and not judge me based on them,

It was refreshing to hear his story,

Of how he struggled his way even with the wooden

Spoon in his mouth,

It was relaxing to hear his view on things

Sensitive matters,

How he struggled his way to where he is today,

because he didn't give up, and 

How he still hopes for a better future,

And how he is going to keep striving,

It was then; I felt my heart melt a little

I then started thinking of how I fuss about,

The guy I like so much that doesn't even know

I  exist,

Or my business that I would have given up on,

If not for passion,

Then I realized that, life isn't going to end

Because you got your heart broken for

The hundredth time

Or because, you failed that job interview,

Or because you decided never to trust anyone again,

Or you’ve decided to give up on love like me

If you decided to lock everybody out.

Like me.

Today, I’m going to tell you something,

Something that you need to think about

Deep and hard.

Life is short,

We don’t know when we will die,

So today, give that thing you decided

To give up on a short

I’ve know it’s so hard

Trust me, I can feel my heart cringing

As I write this up,

Because it’s wondering if it’s capable

Of loving again, after so many heartbreaks,

But I’m going to give love one more chance,

I’m going to keep fueling my business with passion

Till I can no longer breathe,

I’m going to live like there is no tomorrow,

And one last time love like I’ve never been hurt

Because I don’t know what will happen tomorrow,

Because I learnt a lot from that friendly stranger,

And you should too.

LIVE A LITTLE …. YOU’LL NEVER REGRET IT.
