Strangers

Strangers

Do you think of me from time to time?
Do I ever cross your mind?

I try so hard not to think of you,
I didn’t think I would, but I do.

I don’t know what you want from us.
It hard for me to cope with all this fuss.

How can we go from family to nothing?
When there’s so many good time s worth remembering.

Tell me what can be done
To lift this weight that feels like a ton.

I want a relationship with you.
Shouldn’t just that make you want one too?

I’ve tried my best to make things right,
Now it’s up to you to end this fight.

Strangers can become family once more
But you need to be the one to open that door.
