Strangers
A typical night without expectation
A man meets a girl and feels a sensation
From strangers to lovers in just one night
Two hearts came together that felt so right
It started as a one-night stand
But grew to love between this woman and man
Would her love sustain, he doubted with reason
Because in his life he had seen many more seasons
She told him his age would never be a factor
She had found the love she had sought after
For years each other, they loved and cared
And a lifetime together they hoped to share
As time went on their love was strong
But circumstance would take him away
And while apart he lost her heart
Youth had finally found its way
Another man, younger than, and with more to give
Took away the love he was so sure of
And the life he thought he would live
With pleas of love and memories
He tried in vain to change her
But like it began, it now would end
Overnight, he became a stranger
