You walked in like a whisper,
\nlike fireflies in the day, until the sun set without warning.
\nAnd I suddenly saw all that could be
\nin a world that I wish was meant for me.<\/p>\n
Some punches to the gut can’t be cheated.
\nThe truth, a wall I ran straight through,
\nonly to see you.
\nYour face behind a moving screen of water,
\nlike seeing a memory from another life that should be.<\/p>\n
Our breath so easy, laughter so light,
\nyour hand in mine, a natural fit.
\nYou’re the golden hour of every day,
\nlight raining down in showers of amber warmth.<\/p>\n
We were drawn together years ago,
\nbut I didn’t realize it until too late.
\nMy guard held true, so I could protect you, too.
\nI see your face every day, within the abyss of dreams and thoughts.<\/p>\n
In another life, perhaps we are a reality.
\nPaths diverge and paths are made straight.
\nIf time had been different, perhaps our paths would’ve become one.<\/p>\n
Time has made its decision; we weren’t meant to be.
\nA fiery cloak wrapped around my heart, bidding you adieu.
\nSending you a whispering kiss as you say, I do.<\/p>\n
