In Another Life

1

I am indeed a very happy man

For you I will do everything I can

I have achieved all in this short lifespan

To be with you now feels like paradise

I know for me you would pay any price

There is nothing I would not sacrifice

2

I suffer day in and day out

Torment fills my every waking moment

To not have you in my life is torture

I am losing the grip on my life

Why will you not love me like I love

My love is nothing but wasted here

3

Oh blessed is me, to wake by your side

Oh blessed is me, to have such a bride

Oh blessed is me, to never have died

I must admit, I do not deserve you

Yet you came to me, we formed something new

It is good to hear you say, “I love you”

4

It has been years since I have heard from you

It has been years since I have felt your touch

It has been years since I have had joy

Oh woe is my sad life

The light of love has abandoned me

You would have nothing with me, can I blame you

5

We spend our days together with much joy

When with you I feel like a little boy

Our life together has much to enjoy

Our love lights our path, our lives are now one

I have killed lust, my desires are done

I have no more needs, my battles are won

6

The light is gone! My love is gone! You are gone!

Lust and distractions tear me down

The world has its way with me

Because my life is gone

My life is a ruin, a shamble of what could be

If only,

7

It is an interesting thing, life is

A flip of a coin,

Everything has led my life to this point

Heads or tails,

How different my life could be at this point

8

A flip of a coin,

Is my life bad, messed up, ruined?

Is my life good, blessed, prosperous?

How things could have been

How close I was to another life
