Stranger II

people come—
and people go.

how a stranger
can turn into someone,
someone so dear.

like a best friend
or a sister—
someone you can depend on.

and someone so close
can be a stranger,
once again.

that’s life—
surely it is.

i never believed in anyone,
even your God
never feared me once.

but if i have to—
and if i need to,
i’d pray for you.

people can leave me—
anytime they want,
and i’d still be happy.

but not this girl,
please no—
you can’t be a stranger.

you were once a stranger
i don’t wanna lose you—
i wanna keep you.

forever,
if i could ever.
