Perfect Strangers

Perfect strangers, we were once 
Waiting for time to take the chance 
For destiny to make our mark 
Where our hearts can make a spark 

I didn't know you, you knew me not 
We didn't care to take a shot 
Our hands were cold as our stare
We gave some care without spare

But then our hearts came glow in twine 
Beside each other, we learned to dine 
The then strangers became lovers 
Seeking solace under one's covers 

But then, to strangers, we were back 
Chasing the glory that we lack 
For, our love, faded like spark 
We didn't even make a mark
