In this lifetime, we got it right

Inspired by love stories that burn bright and hot... And don't get their happily ever after. In this lifetime, we got it right By Michelle Morris 23/09/2024 I thought we were on fire I thought we'd burn forever Like phoenixes rise from the ashes I thought no one could destroy our reign But I was wrong, my love, my love Oh, boy, I was wrong, my love, my heart It's so amazing how hot we burned How bright the flame between us And yet, here I sit on a cold, hard floor Surrounded by ashes and dust and roses This house no longer a home When you died and ended our story In this lifetime... This lifetime where we got it right How priceless and magical In this lifetime we got it right And now when I look up at the stars at night They twinkle and shimmer like our souls ignite Together, forever, is what we're meant to be Maybe in the next lifetime, we'll have forever for real I knew we were on fire We knew before we even met Our souls had made the pact Back in the cradle where we were formed Created for one another Gifts of love and light and peace So much hope and faith between us But over lifetimes of trials, it became difficult Like angels with clipped wings We wondered if we'd ever fly again Like those phoenixes that die and rise again We'd wondered if we'd get to burn and ascend In this lifetime... This lifetime where we got it right How priceless and magical In this lifetime we got it right And now when I look up at the stars at night They twinkle and shimmer like our souls ignite Together, forever, is what we're meant to be Maybe in the next lifetime, we'll have forever for real In this lifetime... This lifetime where we got it right How priceless and magical In this lifetime we got it right And now when I look up at the stars at night They twinkle and shimmer like our souls ignite Together, forever, is what we're meant to be Maybe in the next lifetime, we'll have forever for real © Michelle Morris, 2024
