Passerby - Allie Moss

I am a passerby

Half-smile as you cut in line

Hold the door to be polite

You’re on your way and I’m on mine

I don’t know the day you’ve had

I don’t know where your head is at

You’re not a friend of mine

I am just a passerby

What if I knew your name?

What if we had the same home room?

What if the things that tie us are stronger than we knew?

What if we’d shared a pint?

What if we cheered the same team?

What if these moments between us mean more than we could dream?

Would I have grace for you and you for me?

Long days have made us numb

I don’t know where you’re coming from

I can’t look you in the eye

I am just a passerby

I am a passerby, I am just a passerby
