A Stranger's Love

A stranger's love came in slowly,
the day an angel came down and spoke to me.

I used to be afraid
of letting down my guard,
yet I did with you
from the moment you smiled at me.

It's like you had an inner view
of the battle I fight with myself,
and came down to rescue me
before I died inside myself.

And even when you say nothing at all,
you still give me reasons to remain strong.
