I’ve never been the type to take too many risks <br />Prefer to stay safe and just wonder what I’ve missed <br />So how’d I wake up with a stranger in my bed <br />How’d I ever believe in those crazy things you said <br />I had a best friend, I had a lover, and a spouse <br />Now all I’ve got is a stranger in my house <br />One of us has lost their sense of self <br />Suddenly we realize we married someone else <br />No I am not the one who said I do <br />And when I took my vow dear, it was not to you <br />So what now? Do we throw it all away? <br />Should we erase our history and start with a clean slate? <br />Or do we try and find a way to fall in love again <br />Do we live together, strangers, and learn to become friends?<br /><br />Lynda Remus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/strangers-18/
