call it even

you fall in love with a stranger,
whatever it is we call love
these days, and
aren't we all strangers
at first you think to yourself.
even more so, as time goes by.
never quite knowing the true
soul, the heart and mind,
what lies inside.
you get glimpse every now
and then, but for the most
part she doesn't know you,
you don't know her, but
let's call it love
and call it even.
