There was a time
you and I were something in disguise
shadows that aren't mine
follow me into my home
living alone
without your laugh
seems cold
no matter how many blankets
I sleep with or hold

you kept me hidden
between white bed sheets
If we ever saw each other in public
I didn't know you
nor did you know me

Invited me into your home
became then my own
surviving and playing games
during thunderstorms
turned into
silent nights
suffocating within the walls

I didn't know you
did you ever find out who I was

strangers in disguise
the look in your eyes
held a sorry gaze
trying to tell me just wait

it began to snow in your home
our love became frozen
somewhere inside one of the rooms

we really did become unknown
