The Stranger that I Loved

I looked her in the eyes,
I looked into her heart,
I saw into her soul,

the one thing I could not see,
the reason why, the how of it all

slamming the door of her heart,
into the face of mine,

I knock, and I knock, 
and knock some more,
but she just won't let me in.

Into the place where I belong,
into her heart, into her soul, into her life

I look at the one I love 
now somehow a stranger too me,

and my heart cries for the loss
of a love once so true.

And I just can't understand
how she could turn and walk away
from all that we shared 
and were to one the other

And I just can't understand
how to tell my heart, 
I will love her never more.

This stranger that I once was lucky enough 
to share with hearts and so much more.
