I know there was another time
we frolicked in the light sublime
two souls dancing in the starry realm
torn from one another’s arms
cast down into this earthly well

I felt you in my mother’s smile
I saw you in those actress’ eyes
I heard you in the singers’ songs
inhaled you in a summer breeze
spent winters shivering all alone

you knew I was out there searching
but we both settled in the scenery
lost and captured by the chaos
suffocating in our circumstances
until the fates at last released us

now we know the truth, the reality
the perfection of two merged as one
as our shadows kiss the fading sun
ageless lovers in a lost dimension
we cling to every magic moment

you’ve always been inside me
my heartbeat’s inspiration
I breathe your love with every breath
and it bathes my weary spirit
in overwhelming peace, again
