My eyes all swollen from the tears
even though it has been years.
What's in the past should not haunt,
there was something that I did want.
I wanted to bring my stranger out of the dark
although he had already left his mark.
The awful things that he had done,
I knew in my heart that I hadn't won.
My stranger came and then he went,
he may not have been heaven sent.
As I remember all that was good
even though he did things I didn't think he would.
My eyes water up and I just cry
"why did I have to say goodbye?"
While in the shadows evil lurks,
I'm lucky I didn't follow his works.
In my heart I cry for a stranger
even though he still lives around danger.
Here I wish on a broken star
that my stranger will one day return from afar.
