Like Oranges:

I peeled away the layers
To expose the deepest parts of you

I held in my hand the shape of you
In all your imperfections

And I knew then and there
that this was only the beginning.

Like Clockwork:

I will spend all of my time
Trying to find you

In this life and the next,
And the next, and the next.

I can't remember how many times it's been,
But I know that every time I see your face,

My heart says it's "it's been a while"
Not "Hi, My name is..."

Like Alchemy:

The first law of equivalent exchange,
In order to receive, something of equal value must be given.

I made a deal with the devil,
To find you across time,

And because of that promise,
We will be struck with grief in every lifetime,

Because of a stupid little deal,
But I will endure all hell on my shoulders for an eternity with you.

Like Tragedy:

We won't always win,
Because it's you and me against the world.

In some lifetimes you are mine and mine alone,
In others you are a screenplay to only be admired,

In some lifetimes you are an atom away,
In others you are the words I write on this parchment.

In some lifetimes we are everything we want to be,
In other lifetimes we realise we have to wait for one more.

In all lifetimes however, I will look for you.
No matter how long it takes.

Like Heartbreak:

I miss you dear stranger,
Someone I haven't even met yet.

But it hurts because you're not here,
Even though I know you will be,
If we are just a little more patient.

Our story is very long,
Impossible to tell with mere words

But we will write in this life,
And the next, and the next, and the next,

For a love story across time.
Some words have to be written for they are not allowed to be said, for a certain pair of eyes.
