REQUIEM FOR A STRANGER

I know I didn't really know you.

I didn't even know your name.

But,for some reason,the thought of losing you

Just fills me with such pain.



I feel as though,through God,you were

My sister or my brother.

You could have been a friend of mine.

You could've been my lover.



But I miss all the memories

That we never even made,

And think about what could have been

If only you'd have stayed



Long enough,at least,for me

To have the chance to see

Exactly how you really were,

And who you used to be.
