The perfect stranger I never knew

To my late man

The perfect stranger I never knew
 
Let me tell you about this guy I met
The stranger I never knew
Unique as ever
Handsome like no other man
With eyes that burn my soul
Smile that stole my heart away
The perfect stranger I never knew
 
He came to me
We exchanged words
His name 'Tumi’
Which means happiness
Indeed he made me happy within hours
 
I told him my story
How I was abused, raped And how I lost my mom
I saw tears in his eyes
How my story touched him!
He comforted me, made me to forget my pains
 
We spoked like a brother and sister
Laughed like best friends
He touched my heart
Made each moment beautiful and joyful
 
I never believed in fairy-tales
I never believed in love
I never laughed out loud of thinking of someone
I never believed in destiny
But because of a stranger
I now do
 
That night we separated
I felt so alone, so empty
That night I couldnt close my eyes
I couldnt sleep
 
I waited till the morning
I couldnt wait to be with him
To hold and talk to him
To tell him how much I love him
To see his beautiful smile
 
That night I made prayers to GOD
Thanking him for bring me a perfect stranger
A perfect man
 
I wake up in the morning
With the biggest smile on my face
Just thinking about him
Made my blood boil
 
When my phone rong seeing his call
My world stopped for a while
I was so happy
Not knowing my smile will turn to tears
 
I picked up the phone as fast as I could
The minute I answerd
It was not his voice
The man have called to let me know
That my perfect stranger slept but didnt wake up
That he died in his sleep
 
I cried!My perfect stranger
The man I loved but never knew
The stranger I never knew
