A Stranger And My Best Friend

I see a spark in you're smile,
And stars in you're eyes.

I hear a melody in you're voice,
A guiding light in you're words.

I feel a sense of rightness in you're presence,
An electric current in you're touch.

I can smell your sweet scent in your absence,
A lingering reminder of all that you are.

You're simply someone I'd hate to forget,
An open book and a mystery all the same.

You're a stranger and my best friend.

  6. Hi there - Very sweet poem. Quick note - watch your use of "you're." Remember that is you are, so in this poem it should be "your."
