In Another Life
In another place
And in another time
You said you would love me
You would be mine
In another day
And in another life
We could be together
You would be my wife
To many complications
To many commitments already made
To many others involved
Could not hurt them, we were too afraid
A soul shattering connection
Greater than pleasure and skin
Some might understand
Others might say it was a sin
I have loved before
But never quite like this
Nobody your equal
I knew from our first kiss
You said those three words first
You said I love you
I was what you dream of
You knew it too
You were my true love
You were the one
Though we are miles apart
With you my heart will never be done
I shuffle through each day
For life I’ve lost the taste
For a love this strong to be unfilled
What a slap in the gods’ face
A one in ten billion chance
That our paths would cross
We found each other
But now all seems to be lost
What if this is the only life
That we get to live
And here we sit quietly suffering
With all this love for each other to give
You said you are sad all the time
Where you are, you hate
Why would our love be this strong
I think it must be fate
I hope you can be happy
I will burden the sadness for the two
How much I love you
You said you always knew
In this life I will long for you
Until my dying day
I hope I recognize you in the next life
To meet you again I will pray
For now I sit at night
Hoping we are looking at the same bright star
No matter how far apart
I will love you truly no matter where you are.
