1000 Lifetimes

I can’t seem to reach you
And I don’t know why
We’ve been growing side by side
For many years now
Maybe a past lifetime too
Did you manage to elude me then also?
Slip from my hands
So that’s why we are trying it again
In this carnation
Close can seem far
When restless souls
Whisper who they are
Just out of the hearing
From one another
Was I once your mother?
Does that explain my need
To care for you?
Perhaps we were brothers too
Since I remember days when we would play
In the sun and know we were of the same skin
I took your name
When you where you my father
Still embarrassed by how completely you keep me safe and warm
Your protection the norm for my soul
Surely you where a forbidden lover
And I wept bitterly for being with some other
Explaining my current desperation
And desire of you
Clearly lust needs more than one lifetime for complete release
The flowing unease of love her forms
History is made of everything that doesn’t happen
1000 lifetimes and I will never be rid of you
Nothing you do could cosmically force me to
As even when I can’t reach you
We can always die and come back together
In any rendering we can find
I will take US in any version I can get
Our souls tightly knit
Keep finding each other in the living
