Falling for a Stranger

I think we started off fine
Like fire, burning bright
Flickers dancing in your eyes
Keeping me awake at night

You used to do all the things I liked
Like you were sent from above
Day one, I fell right in love
Or something close enough

We spoke in sparks and promises
In words that felt like truth
Like nothing in this fragile world
Could ever shake our youth

Not sure what these eight months did
Or where it all went wrong
But lately every moment
Feels like I don’t belong

Maybe I just filled in blanks
With who I hoped you were
Maybe love was louder then
Before it started to blur

Now all that’s left is quiet space
And things I can’t ignore
Maybe I didn’t know you then
Or don’t know you anymore.
