Why are you so familiar
The way you look so iconic
You’re the gin in my tonic
The reverie is chronic
Have we met before now
In some distant place
I know I’ve seen your face
Old memories you replace
Perhaps we knew before
Each other in another life
Not this one we’re in now
Other realities; Our story rife
Maybe in one we met young
We went to the same school
I was too scared to talk to you
You were probably too cool
I watched you from afar
Saw you grow and mature
You married her and never saw me
That is one I’m sure
Maybe in one I wasn’t scared of you
I faced my fear; We talked
You decided to give me the time of day
And on the beach we walked
We dated for a while then
But one day it was too much
I pushed you away you disappeared
Some stories go as such
Maybe in one our time was brief
A few moments maybe more
Minutes or possibly seconds then
The short ones I abhor
I was down and depressed that day
I was looking for a friend
I saw you then you frowned at me
My life I decided to end
Maybe in one we’re fictional
Characters in a book
We existed only as words on a page
That story I would look
I was a princess and you a knight
You rescued me from a tower
A dragon you slayed you were so brave
With your golden sword of power
Maybe there’s a happy one
My favorite one at best
The one with the happy ending
In this one we were blessed
We stayed together, got married then
Some kids to college we would send
With each other we grew old
We closed our eyes; Our story ends
Ramblings of an imaginative girl
It could all just be thought
But just in case I could be right
My many lives, you’ve meant a lot
Each one just as important
No matter how short or long
In each one you’ve played a part
Your contribution never wrong
So now we’re here in this life
Talking in your bed and going to shows
When this one ends our souls restart
Infinite loop of which no one knows
It’s comforting to think about
How my spirit will follow true
In life and in death we’ll find each other
I’ll forever love you
