Although it is lovely
to make your acquaintance,
I really must admit
I feel like I have known you now
For what seems
like quite a bit.

I believe that our souls met before,
In a lifetime now long past.
And it feels like they were hoping,
That in this one we would last.
Because I feel this love of ours,
Is older than our names,
It's longer than our story,
It's bigger than our frames.

There was life
before I met you,
Like there was time before the watch.
There was light before a bulb could hold it,
There were peaks before the notch.

There will be life
though I have left you,
Like there are shocks after the quakes,
There are days that follow darkness,

There is glue after the breaks.

Perhaps then, in the next life,
If my soul should find
this earth again.
If my heart still ticks like
passing time.
If my hands still ache to take
the pen.

Perhaps, then, when
our time is here,
I'll know it's face,
You'll know its near.

But if our only hope is
maybe when…
My only vow is
Maybe then.
