I wish we've never met;
Then I wouldn't have to constantly search for you
In everyone I meet
For each new face I encounter
Wouldn't stir the need in me to scrutinise
Hoping to find traces of you
In the unfamiliar discomfort.
I wish we've never met;
Then I wouldn't have to go on living
A day without you
Days wouldn't feel like a relentless battle
Consciously fighting the urge to reach out to you
Each dawn wouldn't bring the sting of your absence
Each dusk wouldn't feel so empty without your presence.
I wish we've never met;
Then maybe my nights wouldn't be haunted
By dreams of you
My subconscious mind would not be mocking me
With visions of what used to be
But now will never be
My reality now as bitter as my dreams.
If I could turn back time,
I'd revisit the exact moment right before our paths intertwined
I'd choose a different road where we wouldn't collide
I'd choose to avoid having your name etched into my heart
I'd choose to spare us the pain of meeting right from the start.
But if we had never met,
I would have missed the chance to experience a love like this
I would never have tasted the sweetness of your lips in every tender kiss
I thank you for being the inspiration in my pen
For in you, my love, my words find their home again.
Still, how I wish we had never met;
I probably wouldn't know such depths of sorrow
The echoes of your laughter wouldn't haunt my tomorrows
Perhaps the stars would have aligned in a different way
And I wouldn't find myself beneath this constellation...
Wishing you'd be here to stay.
