english,
hey stranger,
have we met before?
for your eyes twinkle
a gentle shine i adore
your smile so bright,
a gentle light to my darkest lores
and your voice so heavenly,
a gentle call i can’t ignore
i want to hold your hand,
to not let go anymore
would your hand feel the same
as theirs did before?
a familiar feeling
that once led my heart to war
though now there’s nothing left
but a lovely battle scar
a great love that's been lost
no longer makes my heart sore
yet i find my thoughts drifting
back to them once more
from seeing you, stranger,
someone i thought i knew before—
wait, stranger
don’t leave, stranger
stay a while longer,
and we can talk some more
‘til our stories get worn
i can't say i know you well,
but we’ll be up ‘til dawn
learning each other’s folklores and myths
until all is said and done
you’ll say something i won't catch,
i’ll sit and stare as you ramble on
i’ll look into your eyes,
to your soul, i’d feel drawn
and just like that,
i’d feel all my worries have gone
forgive me for my daydream—
a while has passed, i’m sure
since i last saw a stranger
who shared the same soul
as the one whom i wished
had stayed for evermore
after all the dances,
their two left feet i so adored
after watching the starry skies—
even then, they shone more
being with them sent me to heaven,
the greatest blessing i could ask for
but they had to let go
and we turned into strangers,
nothing left of our adventures
so it makes me wonder
will this end up
like how it did before?
or will this be different?
is this worth fighting for?
they gave me a warmth
that made my heart leap and soar
while you give me a warmth
that comforts, embraces
a warmth i know is pure
and now i am sure of
the hope that's grown
from meeting you, stranger,
a familiar figure
who feels like home
i promise you stranger,
if you drift away like the one before
i will keep searching for you
from dusk ‘til dawn
from spring ‘til fall
and one day i hope
i find my way back
to the familiar figure
who feels like home
but do tell me this, stranger,
for i fear the unknown:
why does my heart ache and long
for things i have never known?
