A Passer By. Poem by Eman Awad

Once i asked a star,
why my love is so far?
She said: why would you care any way?
He left you and ran away..

And i cried,
so she said: to be happy in your life,
Don't love a passer by,
he won't love you even if he tried,
Don't love a passer by..

Some times i remember,
when he talked to me.
Every memory i linger,
he made me feel free.
But my star kept on saying,
don't trust the passer by.
And i kept on praying,
for him to come back and try.
And i remember when he held my hand,
and gave me his coat when it was cold.
I'll search for him in sea and in land,
i won't forget him as long i grow old.
She said: do what any one would do,
forget him, he was just a shadow passing through..

When i kept on refusing, to an old road she took me,
girls which their and tears were crying,
i found those girls who were like me,
their smiles were fading and dying.
My star said: his victims they are,
ask them and never hide,
then come tell me what you shall find.

I wandered with a sad face,
till a girl came from no place.
She said: sadness will lead you to die,
forget him, please try,
why would you trust a passer by?
he won't love you even if he tried..

My star said: don't you ever worry,
you are not as old as i am.
Don't end your life by being sorry,
you'll love again if you understand.
Never to love a passer by...
