Love Poem: Familiar strangers

Familiar strangers

When you saw me on the carrousel
You knew you had found love
You waited till I had fun with my friends
Before approaching me with steady steps;
When my friends saw you approaching
They knew what was bound to come
They gave way for the two of us
You asked me out and we took things from there; 
We were having the best time of our lives
Until suddenly you slowly slipped away.
Your rose to the highest pinnacle of your career
And had many opportunities on your path
I watched you slowly slip away from us
Into your people of interest
Slowly my heart was turning numb to your feelings
So we decided to each go our own ways; 
From afar we watched each other go about their duties 
And remembered the moments we shared together
We walked on different paths with different motions and emotions;
As we pass by each other we feel our hearts beating at a faster rate
And that is when we realize we have become perfect yet familiar strangers.
