Stranger

I look into the mirror
And see a stranger's face
This is not the person I knew
Before starting the race

I was always in love with me
That time I can't replace
What life made of me now is here
Caught up well in this place

Stranger I am mirror mirror
Stranger to none but me
Stranger to everything around
Stranger to destiny

Time is good now, not like it was
Means I should be happy
Stranger I am to none but me
Speaking in soliloquy

In years I've changed, time and again
Then they turn back and see
Make me look on to what has gone
To greet eventually

Stranger I am to none but me
Seeking my sanity
Stranger I am to none but me
Waiting in line to be free.

The stranger smiles at me
And says "Do you really know me?
Or is it that we just happen
To share a similarity."

"You look as if we've met before
Ages have gone you see
You are not you anymore
And neither I am me.."

I look the last time honestly
My eyes look into me
Stranger I am to everything
And yet no one can see.
