The first time we met you stood beyond times reach
Silent eyes speaking more than a thousand words
The wind lifted the corners of forgotten days
And fate in that instant bloomed like a flower of old
All things may return in cycles but true hearts defy the clock
A thousand miles of mountains and seas but your gaze held eternity
They say life is but a dream yet some dreams hold direction
And when your eyes met mine the world stopped drifting
Not every backward glance leads to reunion
Not every wait finds its answer
Yet the light in your eyes once lit my darkest year
And that eternal glance etched you into the veins of time
Fate is no accidentits the softest truth of the universe
A thousand sails may pass but you remain my quiet joy
Perhaps the greatest gift in all my days
Was finding you in a crowd of lifetimes and knowing: one glance was forever
