Beautiful Strangers

Once there was a little girl, who felt like she could rule the world.

She was graceful, and she was kind.

She always seemed to find, a little bit more of her love to give away.

Oh how she laughed, and how she played.

Oh how she took on everyday, with a bright smile, oh what a gleam!

But then, one day it seemed...

That she was she already grown.

With no place in the world to call her own.

The weight of the world, you see, was much too strong, and everything she believed in she felt was wrong.

She sat in her room on a cold wet day, looked out of her window, the skies were gray.

She sighed and smiled. "This will go away someday, in a short while"

Day after day, it grew and grew.

The demons inside her, and she knew, that she couldn't hold on for much longer.

She needed help, but there was no one beside her.

One spring morning, a misty haze.

She came across a stranger, who held her gaze.

A simple look, a simple glance, it was not long before she was entranced, by his bold, but soft features.

Could he be the man, to tame her wicked creatures?

She began towards him. And in her head, went over a plan she had said, to herself. "A small hello... But what if he says 'Good bye'? What's there to lose? Give it a try!"

She opened her mouth, said "Hello" and a reply came from the taller fellow,

"Hello, Miss! I know we have just met, but if I may, your eyes! They shine like amber, when hit by the bright skies!"

A dance. A spark. A fire. It was then that her hopes had begun to raise higher.

As she knew this was the man, who could help her get better, and be happy again.
