Yours in Every Lifetime

I love you—not in words, but in the way I stay, Even when the road bends, even when you walk away. You are not a choice; you are the only way I see, A place I call home, where my heart longs to be. I asked for a moment, a day, maybe more, You said no—maybe reasons I’ll never explore. But it’s okay, I whisper, it’s fine, Maybe in another life, you will be mine. Next time, let me be you, and you be me, I’ll teach you love, I’ll set your heart free. Then the life after that, we’ll switch once again, And you will show me all that remains. The months are slipping, time is unkind, I wonder if fate will let our paths rewind. I wish to spend days outside these walls, Before distance decides and silence calls. I don’t ask for much—just a little space, A moment of laughter, a memory to chase. A glance, a word, an awkward talk, A little more time before we walk. Don’t call it longing, don’t name it desire, It’s not just a feeling—it’s something higher. It’s pure, it’s real, it doesn’t demand, Yet here I stand, with an open hand. And even if you never reach for mine, I’ll still love you, beyond space and time.
