Stranger

I lost myself for many years
I couldn’t find my way to  be
Without the light couldn’t go on
And only darkness was able to see

Until one day, I cross my path
With a stranger from far away
He was gentle with golden heart
And knew exactly what to say

He was no lover for me at all
Only a stranger from far away
With simple words, he shows me how
To go and find forgotten way

The simple things I loved so much
That I forgot in my despair
Finally, I found under the stars
And from that moment I wasn’t scared

Someone will pick up my fallen heart
And show me love, I never knew
Someone will take me to paradise
Where there is place only for two

And he will own my heart and soul
With all I have  
With all I care
I will forget my life before
My emptiness and my despair

When you meet that certain special someone, he can make you forget all of your troubles for at least a while. Good write.
