Strangers

We met again after a long hiatus
No one can guess a storm happed us
Finally we found the tomfool
I lost the game thinking I'm playing cool

You look so different 
As if nothing ever happened 
New air made you so confident 
I never guessed she'd be someone relevant 

The past doesn't haunt me anymore 
Now that I leeched off the barricade from floor
In the end, I left the keychain
The hiatus made us strangers again

It turned out the sudden meeting didn't bother you at all 
I'm pissed off how it ruined me in every night I recalled 
The storm scattered my entire city
While you stayed intact sustaining your sanity

I can see the drift of every ride
I won't ever wonder about your side
I like the fact that we are strangers 
You didn't deserve my valiant soldiers 

Ending this with no regrets 
Moving into a new city with Scarlets
I claimed the youth for your presence 
You stayed self-reliant untill the end

My sleepless nights were filled with your memories 
I washed everything so that my breaths can finally release 
You stayed calm even when I bleeded 
You left the place every time I needed 

You repeated the past
You broke my trust
Still I breathed the air with noxious dust
After wandering for years I found the forest atlast 

I won't mention November anymore
The ending has finally brought us the the shore
