Stranger
You oh stranger are my best of friends
You are the one who is always there to dry my agnoized tears
You believed in me before I didst believe in myself.
You alone understand the scars on my heart,
and the cries deep within my soul.
You're the one to lift me up when I fall
You're the one to cheer me on in a silent crowd
You understand my past and long to be my future
You love me for all that I am and not that which I appear
You're the one to battle for my very life
And protect me from even the dangers within myself
Oh how I wish you were real
You haunt my every dream
Making my reality as though it be a horrible nightmare
Each day my trials grow into a creature
A creature so horrid it would do such harm to my soul.
Each night I escape for but one peacfull moment
I float into your arms and hear your words
Your touch is so strong and protective,
Yet light and tender as you hold me close
Dear sweet man of my dreams
If I could have but one wish
It would be that day would ne'r come
And each moment with you would last no less than a lifetime
I long for a time when my eyes meet yours
And You're arms wrap tightly 'round my waist
Holding me so close that not even death itself could part us
I long for you're sweet kiss of life.
That my troubles may be chased away
As though they were an unwelcome enemy
Driven so far away that they may never come back.
I deeply long to hear that which you speak to me
words of love and encouragement.
Words I have ne'r heard before
Words that are sweet music to my ears.
Oh gentle stranger, let not your presence withdraw
You my sweet love are my dream of dreams
Farewell stranger, till we meet again
under the still sky and bright ruler of the night
Farewell farewell sweet love of my dreams.
