Somewhere out there you live life as best as you can
Laughing with your friends and loving your family
Studying hard at school and then working your new job
A cat or preferably a dog by your side as you navigate
For life is such a maze that we truly can’t go at it alone
I don’t know if we’ve met before or if we’re supposed to
But I do know I’ve dreamed of you a few times in my life
I could never make out the face yet I still felt comfort
From your hands on my cheek or to your warm embrace
You were there for me when I truly needed you
But that’s all it’s ever been was just a dream
Unfortunately one that I could never make true
Much time has past and many tragedies befell me
To the point where I am no longer myself
For I am merely a ghost now living in another life
Watching hope flutter before others daily
While I can no longer take part in that chase
Perhaps in another life we have met walking down a street
Or in a store, or reading at a coffee shop, maybe a concert
Gone out on dates, took some trips, met our families
Eventually having kids and raising a family together
Growing old and looking back on all that we’ve done
Sadly that will never happen for my turn has finished
It should’ve ended long ago but I was on borrowed time
And I tried my best to make the most of it while here
Shame I was unable to do the main thing and find you
Maybe we crossed paths before but never took that chance
Perhaps in another life we did jump together in faith
Did all those things side by side that I rarely have before
All to the point beyond the one I’m used to where I feel okay
Okay in asking the one thing I’ve always wanted to ask
Only you would understand me when I request this and smile
For you know how long I’ve been searching all these years
How I mean this in an endearing way to my partner in life
Whispering by your ear as we dance. . . Can I keep you?
But I can no longer for I’m just a ghost who’s forever isolated
Once more waiting and hoping to finally meet you in another life. . .
