Analysis of Understanding Stranger
Thoughts freely spoken,
my mind now at ease.
Your rational feedback,
'twas what I need.
These thoughts Impure,
for the one I Desire.
your rational feedback,
helped calm the Fire.
My Deepest Thank You
to the understanding stranger.
your rational feedback,
has kept me from danger.
How odd a feeling,
to open oneself,
to an understanding stranger,
such as yourself.
