Like a storm, unannounced you came,
a force of nature I couldn’t understand;
when I closed the doors to my heart,
you  slipped in through the cracks.

Like a wildfire, fierce and untamed,
I felt your love and burned bright;
And though I knew it wouldn’t last,
I held on tightly to the fading past.

If not with a promise of forever,
why did fate bring us together?
A love so deep, yet bound to end,
you became a friend I couldn't defend.

I let you go, and it broke me inside,
saw you walk away, my tears I did hide;
thought in friendship I'd find some peace,
a fragile solace, a bittersweet release.

But again fate was cruel and unkind,
a choice made by your burdened mind;
the pain you carried, I never could heal,
a wound so deep, it didn’t feel real.

Is it a punishment for loving too much?
For giving my heart to your gentle touch?
The sleepless nights, the endless tears,
are haunted by your pain and fears.

If only I could have been there,
To ease your burden, your despair;
as a friend, a stranger, a listening ear,
perhaps I could have kept you near.

But fate, for some, has a cruel design,
stealing the stars, leaving darkness behind;
though our memories will always remain,
in my life through joy and pain.
