Strangers to Friends!

Hi there,
Yes! You there!
I have seen you many times by that bridge,
And you have seen me too,
I know that.
I have watched you,
Watched you just stand,
And at times sip a cup of coffee too.
And at few other times,
I have seen you cry.
I didn't want to disturb you.
I didn't want to annoy you.
We don't even know each other.
I have thought of walking to you and talking,
I thought that will work.
And here I'm,
Standing right next to you,
Talking,
No, actually listening.
Did my therapy work?
You were a stranger to me that day,
But today we are friends,
We talked all about that bothered us,
We bonded well as we were understandable,
We held hands as we supported each other,
What would've happened if I had not walked to you the other day?
What if I had just crossed you?
We would've not become friends!
I would've missed meeting a friend for life.
Why and how I walked to talk to you?
I really don't know.
I'm just happy that I did.
The other day when you told me Wat bothered you,
I found you were feeling lonely,
And thanked me for talking,
This was our very first conversation.
Ah! I still can't imagine I made a move.
I'm lucky!
And hey you,
You are lucky too!
I'm happy that I started a conversation with you.
I really am!
