When One World Slipped Away

The life slipped away........ 
It was meant to be........ 
For now the journey begins 
Another day................ 
You see............... 

We all travel............. 
One day............. 
When our world, 
slips away 

For I lie 
when I say, 
that we die............. 
When the world slipped away 
Another day 

A life slipped away.......... 
Many worlds....... 
Travelling unfurled, 
This is the way 

Someday, 
we will meet 
When our worlds collide, 
there.......... 
On the other side 

I slipped away, 
as did you 
The worlds too....... 
Began another day 

These new worlds, 
to explore 
Hearts unfurled 
This I saw 

The life slipped away.............. 
New world, 
began another day 
Hearts unfurled 

When our world, 
slipped away 
One day.......... 
We shall collide 
One day.......... 
On the other side
