Stranger

A stranger came into my life one day,
  then eight years later up and went away.
He filled a void no-one else could fill,
 for that it gave me such a thrill.

Family and friends disliked him so ,
 for they knew he would surely go.
And they hated I had to share a lover 
 they said just didn't care.

In my heart I knew this was true,
 but in my mind it made me blue.
So just as all sad stories end,
 someone elses life begins.

A stranger will appear in their life,
 become a lover in one night.
Then just as quickly as it begins,
 it will surely end.

So someone else's life can begin!

                                                         Signed;
                                                            Deserted
