Sometimes I feel like I’m a stranger here. In my own hometown. It’s always been that way. Then I drag you here. It’s been less than a week, but I have moments with you where I feel like you and I, we’re strangers, but it’s temporary. Like there’s about to be knowing between us I don’t have with anyone else.
