You who come from beyond,
Shy away if you must,
From those of whom you’re fond,
Hide from those you trust,
–
You cannot let new people in,
Dare to be free,
Then the virus will win,
But I like what you let me see,
–
For it is true that I could stare all day,
I could find the magic that you hide,
As questions I hear your soft voice say,
But I myself hide behind pride,
–
To not show weakness,
I try to use charm,
To speak with such kindness,
That you’ve no cause for alarm,
–
You shift that which hides you,
For the comfort you crave,
Maybe your beauty is true,
From that glimpse that you gave,
–
Even though I know your face,
You remain a mystery to me,
A beautiful stranger,
What’s your personality?
