STRANGER

Someone who you loved who is now a stranger. Need I say more?

To the stranger I fell in love with,
I remain in love with you, stranger
You questioned if I knew what Love was,
and the answer to that is undoubtedly yes -
unequivocally and with most certainty,
I say to you, I don’t want anyone else
except the goofy stranger I fell in love with,
which is obviously you.

To the stranger I fell in love with,
I remain in love with you, stranger
It was clear that I WAS in a dark space,
and while I could see, I really couldn’t.
Consumed by despair, a negative energy -
just wouldn’t let me be.
I could feel misery tugging at my soul,
until I finally decided that it was time to let go.

To the stranger I fell in love with,
I remain in love with you, stranger
I’m not a bad person, I just allowed bad to follow
For each time I caused tears to fall from those eyes,
I just want to say that I am sorry and you must know -
I much rather see you smile.
And with this one life I was blessed with, if permitted,
my goal will be to see you smile, 1000 more times
In addition, you will be outwitted.

To the stranger I fell in love with,
I remain in love with you, stranger
I hold onto hope because what I feel is more than just Love,
and if I could, I’d try to describe it with the words I write
but unfortunately the most purest sense the heart can feel -
are usually the ones that don’t need much words at all
So to you I say, I love you more than the distance from Earth -
to the next alternate worlds where you and I exist.
I love you harder the crashing waves that meet at the shore,
and every night my mind wanders, wondering if you too -
think of me right before you fall into slumber

With her always consuming your mind, how could she sleep so well in good conscience?
