In this lifetime, I fell too short—
Of all the tales I should've brought.
I couldn't paint the skies with "us",
Nor carve forever in the dust.

I watched you drift like comet's flame,
While I remained—a whispered name.
The universe, it played its part,
But kept your orbit far from heart.

I couldn’t dance beneath your light,
Nor share with you the velvet night.
No stolen glances, cosmic gleam—
No echo of that starlit dream.

Yet somewhere deep in stardust lore,
They say we’ve met a thousand more—
In lifetimes long dissolved in time,
In galaxies where souls still rhyme.

Perhaps in one, you held my hand,
We twirled through moons on silver sand.
In others, lost to fate’s cruel tide,
We passed like stars that never collide.

But oh—if I am born anew,
Across the stars, I’ll search for you.
Though seven lives may scatter me,
Through galaxies or deepest sea—

Still, every soul I'd carry through,
Would burn with just one name—it’s you.
No time, no fate, no world too wide—
Could ever dim what lives inside.

So let’s meet where the nebula sighs,
Where Saturn sings and silence cries.
We’ll hold the red thread fate has spun,
Beneath twin moons or twin-born sun.

My star-crossed love, in life’s next spin,
We’ll dance where all the stars begin.
And when this universe forgets our name
The cosmos will still remember our flame.
