Stranger

I have been no stranger 

To your gift box waiting with me 

How can I miss something so dear

That I have never really had before

 

I have been no stranger

To you being busy or late

How can I see something so clear

That has never really existed before

 

I have been no stranger

To not being your priority

How can I be something for real

That I have never really been before 

 

I am a stranger now in my own skin

But you probably won't know this one

I sit and watch the end of something

That never really happened before 

You are a stranger to me some days

But you probably won't believe this one

I've known you like an infinite sky

Insufficient still, I'm left wanting for more.
