A Stranger's Eyes


You look upon me with a stranger's eyes

And I cannot deny what's been erased


Your memories of me all turned to ash

While mine of you stayed achingly intact


They tell me you've forgotten you were mine

And nothing I could do will bring you back


The future that we dreamed of long ago

Is nothing but a past we can't retrieve


I thought this was a torture I could bear

A weight that I could shoulder for your life


But memories are sacred, fragile things

Like feathers that the wind can steal away


For you I'll traverse worlds to hunt them down

No matter what the cost to me might be


...And I shall introduce myself again
