''Maybe in another life''

“Maybe in another life,” I say. “But why not this one?” you ask, eyes full of dismay. “What’s in our way?” you continue. “I just can’t be with you,” I reply. “Why are you lying?” you shout. “What reason do i have to lie?” I say, but I know you still hold doubt. “You don’t want me” you accuse. “You never wanted me until now” I muse. “I’ve wanted you every day,” you say. “Maybe in another life.” And I walk away.
