Stranger

You saw me and your lips they did smile Giving me strength to walk that extra mile The fear of rejection, its shackles I broke And mustering all my courage, to you I spoke Your words melodious like the chiming of a bell Your small talk and stories, and oh! The way you would tell I listened absorbing every note, every sound I knew it was heaven I had found We were inseparable; we were soul mates you would say Just thinking of you would make my day And I felt I was in a dream, walking on air Seeing the cool evening breeze sway your hair But now you stand before me and my heart echoes my fears With no strength to even wipe away my tears You say you want to live in a world that does not have me Away from even the faintest memory You say if I’ve loved you, I should set you free Let you fly, take wings to the sky that beckons thee And now I am dead inside with emotions few You seem to be someone, I never knew
