We walked by each other today,
And I was shocked to have seen you again.

We cross thousands of strangers each day,
But it's rare to register a face, not to talk of seeing one again.

I do not know what happens in your everyday life
And you do not know mine.

Yet I wonder what your ups and downs are like,
What other strangers go through.

Are you okay behind that unreadable face?
Do you need a friend too?

Where is your destination? Where are you from?
How's the journey?

Hope you're keeping strong and will push further.

We all have different roads to follow,
Which are maybe only slightly similar.

There's beauty in its complexity
How we're strangers together.
