Stranger
When I close my eyes
I see you
The man who I fell in love with
The man who fell in love with me
The man who use to plant kisses all over my face
The man who would call just to hear my voice ten times a day
The man who couldn’t sleep unless he spoke to me
The man who couldn’t hug me enough
The man who enjoyed my smile
Relished in my company
Who loved to hear me laugh
The man who always made time for me
The man who once seemed so proud to have me
The man who always held me while we slept
The man who only wanted to make me happy
Wanted to keep me safe
The man who would wipe my tears
And curse the person who made them fall
The man who would miss me even before I left
The man who would ask me about my day
The man whose mind I ran through multiple times within one day
The man whose love I felt whenever our eyes met
The man who would fight for me with whomever, whenever
The man who needed me as much as I needed him
The man who made love to my body
The man who appreciated the little things I did for him
The man who couldn’t imagine his life without me
But somehow this man I love so much is lost to me
Because when I open my eyes this man disappears
Leaving only a stranger standing there
A man who is never around
A man who makes my tears fall
Makes my heart hurt
A man who just uses my body
A man who appreciates nothing
A man who is already living his life without me
A man that is so busy I am lucky to run across his mind once
A man that doesn’t love me
Not even a little bit
Not even at all
