Love lost to a stranger



I fell in love with a face I knew,
A heart that beat so strong a true,
But time went by and things did change,
And now that face, it seems so strange,
The words we spoke, the dreams we had,
All faded away and left me sad,
For now I feel like I'm alone,
With someone I once truly had known.
The laughter shared, the tears we shed,
Are all but memories in my head,
For in your eyes, I see a stranger,
And in my heart, there is no danger,
No longer do I feel that flame,
No longer do I feel the same,
For though I loved you once before,
I cannot love a stranger anymore,
So now I walk this path alone,
And thought it's hard, I'll make it known,
That though my heart, was once entwined,
With a love that's left me far behind.
I'll take my time and find my way,
And though I'll miss you everyday,
I know that love will find me still,
And once again, my heart will fill
