Say what you like about religion,
The afterlife, Heaven, reincarnation -
But your face to me is so familiar,
It seems to sigh an echo, similar,
Within my heart -
Our souls are linear.
Tied by love and bound by fate,
Across time and distance, worlds apart,
And still, you seem to know my heart...
Perhaps I loved you once before,
In another life, a place and time;
On moonlit nights I held you tight
And basked within your soft embrace,
When morning came and you slipped away,
I ached again to see your face -
To touch your lips and hold you near,
As I do now - I see you clear.
I can almost feel those centuries, long,
Stretching out beyond, in complex song;
Whispers of memory, a shadow of fate,
At last, at last!
The past is spent,
And our future now awaits...
