In another life
I cross the earth to reach you
Your hungry eyes wait to soak me in
To breath in my scent
And hold your baby close once again
My arms would hold you tight
Hands search like plugs against the aches of your aged body
I'd take in the deep trenches in your skin
And see my life in them
The comforting caress of your palm as you take every opportunity to pat my back
Hold my hand
Sit beside me and eat
Talk about my younger days
You'd say I was the coolness of your eyes
And I'd stay
This time for good
In another life
I would cross the earth to reach you

In time
