~ The Perfect Stranger ~

The Perfect Stranger.........


I’ve given my heart to a perfect stranger,
a stranger I’ve known all my life.

In the still of the night I’ve heard his voice, I’ve seen his face,
In my dreams, I’ve spoken to him and felt his skin on mine.
Strange how fast love grows, how fast it flourishes,
Strange how we are governed by our hearts,
How logic and all sense are overruled by its’ desires,
How uncontrollably, hopelessly I’ve gravitated toward you,
Endlessly falling into the thought of you,
Lost in the fantasy of waking in your presence and you in mine,
Lost in a world where your heart is mine to own, to cherish, to safeguard.


Is the puzzle which is my life meant to be incomplete?
I know love isn’t perfect, but I am able to love perfectly,
I know love is not easy, but I can love easily.
Is there love without restraint? Unselfish, without blemish and stain?
Or does love equal war, deception and pain?


I’ve always known you, I’ve always dreamt of you,
always wished for you, always desired you.
My love is forever open to you,
For it knows no faults, no bounds, no doubts in you,
As will these arms always be ready to hold you and protect you.


But until then my Love, my Stranger,
I’ll be waiting every night, hoping to see you again,
