Maybe I’ll see you again someday
In a weird, unexpected place
And you’ll say “hi, what’s your name”
Because for a moment you forgot
I’ll look different but still be the same
And a flicker in your eyes
Will name my name
And you’ll remember
All that you blinked away
I’ll know you immediately
Because I saw you grow up in my sleep
I’ve imagined you older, and loved
Not in the way that I made you think
That’s how lovin is meant to be
Knowing my love was never enough
It never filled your cup
There’s wrinkles in the corner of your eyes
And defined smile lines
I’ll never imagine you to age unhappy
You have a way of never admitting defeat
It always feels so real
Everytime I picture you and I
Reuniting under the same sky
And it becomes “I love you the same”
And your heart didn’t forget my name
You say you never should’ve passed me
All. the. blame.
It’s just a fairy tale
I tell myself to fall asleep
So I can touch my hand to your cheek
And we’re lovers again
