Perfect Strangers

*this is kind of long and not that good but please comment and rate. thanks!*

Four years of high school went by so fast
Friends making memories that will always last
To enjoy our last summer before going separate ways
We head to the beach to enjoy these summer days
The first night we arrived we went on a shopping spree
We stopped at a nice store for some jewelery
I made my decision on what I wanted to buy
Then walked toward the counter and spotted a guy
I had to catch my breath before moving ahead
And when I moved closer my face became red
Something about this boy made me think
That it was love at first sight, before I had time to blink
I made my purchases and went home that night
Still believing that I loved this boy at first sight
Unable to let go, I passed his store everyday
Yet too scared to find anything to say
The summer ended quick, back to reality
Off to college to get my degree
Yet I left that year with something more
A boy in my class who turned out to be more
We fell madly in love and he asked to marry me
I was sure that this was it, that this was meant to be
He planned a romantic summer get away
To the beach and without thinking I said OK
Then one night as we were walking along
The one I thought did not matter, yet I was wrong
There he was, the boy from a year before
I fell in love again though this time it was unsure
He thought still bothered me and I could not let it go
What was it about him? I just had to know
A few days later I walked into his store
I made a quick purchase and waked out the door
Though wrapped in the money was a simple note
Meet me at midnight near the lifeboats
So at midnight that night I walked to the beach
Touching up the words to perfect my speech
I looked up and saw you walking in the sand
Looked down to see you carrying the note in your hand
I stood quickly unable to speak
We made eye contact and my knees went weak
Not knowing what I was doing I began to runto you
Our lips met and the sparks flew
After a moment you pulled away
Hi was the only word I could say
I knew nothing about him excpet it was true
Though now I had something to do
Choose the one who stood by my side
With me though every tear I cried
The one I knew eveything about
The one I could not live without
Or the one who I loved at first sight
Who I longed to see every night
A friend or a stranger, I had to choose
Although with a stranger I had nothing to loose
I believed we were perfect in every way
We were strangers yet strangers we did not stay
