Still Yours in Another Life

I saw you in a dream

long before I knew your name.

Your eyes weren’t the same color,

But the way they looked at me

unmistakable.

In this life,

We met by chance,

But something in me whispered,

You were never a stranger.

You knew how I liked my silence.

I knew how you held your grief.

It was as if

We’d been here

before.

And maybe we had.

Maybe we’ve walked this earth

in different skins,

under different skies,

But always, finding each other.

In another life,

We danced barefoot

In a field of stars.

In another life,

We built homes from laughter

and buried promises beneath trees

that never forgot us.

I remember flashing

your hand in mine during the war.

Your kiss in the rain

before a train

I never came back from.

Lifetimes blurred,

but always you.

They call it déjà vu,

But I call it

homecoming.

Because my soul knows yours

In a way my mind can’t explain.

And every time I lose you,

time conspires

to bring you back.

Maybe in the next life,

We’ll get it right.

No clocks ticking down,

no distance,

No goodbye.

Just us,

without endings,

without beginnings.

Until then,

love me in the echoes.

Meet me in the spaces

between now and forever.

And know this:

Even when we forget,

even when we’re reborn as strangers

I’ll still be yours,

In another life.
