Stranger in my Chest

I feel you in my chest and I've never met you
A stranger laying beside me that could be you
Not knowing your name or your face I miss you
Heartbeat close I want to just hold you

You, are what is keeping my heart beating

I want to open up and to show how I feel
Maybe you would like it and walk away
My chest is aching and I think I will
Only hoping you won't go but stay

It seems silly writing a poem for a stranger
I don't want to be distant, I want to be close
Making me vulnerable and in danger
I wish I could wash away the pretense

You might never know I wrote this
It would be ok if this is a mistake
If you walk away thinking I felt nothing
I hope you will find one day that I wrote this for you
A poem to let you know that I felt you
Keeping my heart warm and my face dry

Know that even if I die tommorow
That this poorly written poem was for you
A stranger that I feel in my heart
Someone who with only a few words
Washed away the pain of entire year
Let me return the favor to you
