when does someone stop being a stranger?
what's the criterion?

honesty sounds like a good criterion.
to be just brutally honest, it feels weirdly good.
to tell someone that you're messed up,
and there's no silver lining.

or maybe it's belief.
that the person will hold you.
no matter what,
even if you fall from 10 storeys high,
and you both might die,
the belief that he'll still hold you.

or is it something else?

whatever it is,
stranger,
i feel like you're my friend.

that i can tell you anything,
and you'll hold me when i fall.
