In another life
she’s smiling at me
as I’m holding her tight
and the rest of the world falls away
In another life,
she’s leaning on me
in companionable silence
and there’s nowhere either of us
would rather be
In another life
she’s texting me now
about some random little thing
and I’m grinning because she thought of me first
in another life
she’s shown me her world
and I’ve shown her mine
and slowly they’re becoming the same
In another life
we know each other inside and out
and we could never imagine
it ever being anything different
In another life
though nothing is perfect
everything’s just a little bit brighter
with her beside me
