Another Life

I felt you in the quiet rain
A memory I can't explain
Your name still lives beneath my skin
But fate won't let you in

I reach for you in every dream
But wake up torn apart at the seam
Our hands were close, but never held
A love the stars themselves withheld

The world was wrong, the time unkind
We crossed too soon, then fell behind
I watched you fade like morning light
Still holding on with all my might

You haunt the spaces left in me
A ghost of what could never be
But even pain won't let you go
You're the only truth I've ever known

Maybe in another life
Where the stars don't pull us wide
Where love arrives before goodbye
And time is on our side
Maybe there we'll get it right
No need to run, no need to hide
I'll find you in the next sunrise
In another life

I whisper your name into the dark
Hoping the wind will carry my heart
If souls remember what hearts erase
Then I'll find you in that place

Maybe in another life
Where the hurt turns into light
Where you don't leave and I don't cry
And forever feels just right
Maybe there we'll dance through time
With no regrets, no last goodbyes
I'll love you past this world's disguise
In another life

Wait for me
In another life
