Stranger-lover-stranger

You walked in quiet, a face unknown,
A passing breeze, a heart of stone.
But one soft look, one fleeting stare,
And love was breathing in the air.

You spoke, and suddenly the world stood still,
My chaos calmed, against my will.
You held my hand — the stars grew near,
The nights felt short when you were here.

But seasons changed, your eyes grew cold,
The words we whispered turned to old.
A love once wild, began to fade,
Lost in the silence we both made.

Now when I see you, we both pretend,
Like strangers meeting at the end.
Yet somewhere deep, the heart remembers —
Two souls that burned, and died in embers.

You were my start, my sweetest sin,
A stranger I let deep within.
And now you’re gone — but I still linger,
Holding love that slipped my finger.
