*****
There he was almost 2 years ago standing in front of me
****
He found me as I was alone one night
I was lost and in search of someone to hold me tight
So we started to talk and what he said was sincere
And out of the blue he pulled me near
****
He chanced fate when he came to me that night
Empowered with an emotional sensation - to love one another was right
Cradling my hand he said, "I was the one he'd protect"
The promise in his words - I will never forget
****
Within a 2 week period it happened and we fell in love
He whispered 3 words, "I love you" as the clouds parted above
The pounding in my chest tried getting me to run away
But my heart's intuition was stronger and told me to stay
****
And as I gazed into his blue eyes from day to day
The message received said he would never walk away
Two very different people who began to play the game called "Love"
Created something very special tied in with blessings from above
****
Throughout the months we got to know each other and we grew
Yet something had drastically changed and we knew
The raw emptiness I saw in his blue eyes
Was so painful he could not disquise
****
He loved me, yet here with me is where he didn't belong
Our chemistry began to fade stating something had gone wrong
There was so much chaos and there was a difference
So we separated and 2 hearts held on with agonizing persistence
****
This complete stranger that came to me some time ago
Will always be my one true love, this I know
And I will remember the warmth of his lips pressed against mine
And how we spoke of forever, from time to time
****
If rekindling our love is to never come again
I pray he knows I will always be his friend
And with the waking of each new dawn
My heart will continue to beat to the melody of our song
****
