Your presence broke the darkness like a soft and trembling flame
guiding all my scattered shadows toward a hopeful hue
If only life had let our sparks ignite before the blame
maybe every lonely night would lead me back to you
You were the light I didn’t know my spirit longed to find
a dawn that rose inside me where the winter used to live
Had fate been just a little more forgiving a little less unkind
I’d give you all the mornings my heart never learned to give
I dream of lifetimes waiting where your warmth arrives at last
where grief has no beginning and regret has no remains
Where every fading sorrow melts like echoes from the past
and love returns unhindered by the world’s unyielding chains
In the next life if the sky permits a gentler rendezvous
I’ll find the road that leads me straight to where your soul shines through
Bring me back to the first light your heartbeat ever knew—
so I can start my life again
from the moment
I meet you
