In Lifetimes Before

I have loved you,
In lifetimes before,
Right here and now,
I love you even more.

I can’t make you love me,
Not so sure you should.
Doesn’t stop the tears,
Or prayers that you would.

My heart doesn’t know,
What I have longed for,
Is out of my reach.
Or how to let you go?

I know I love you,
With everything in me,
But I am not the one,
This much I can see.

So I’ll go on loving you.
Forever and a day,
And pray for the time
When you walk my way.
