I met you in a moment that arrived a breath too late
like sunlight touching windows after all the rain has passed
Your smile felt like a memory that destiny misplaced
a gentle hint of something I was meant to hold at last
Had we crossed each other’s shadows on a younger softer day
maybe all the scattered pieces would have found a place to rest
Maybe love would bloom in quiet where our hearts could learn to stay
and the world would feel much smaller with your heartbeat near my chest
If only time was kind
you’d be the first I see at dawn
If only stars aligned
we’d never learn the ache of “gone ”
In every dream I find
a world where we were never torn—
if only time was kind
we’d meet before the pain was born
I hold you like a whisper that the night forgot to keep
a fragile note of yearning drifting softly through the air
If tomorrow gave redemption for the tears we couldn’t weep
I would run toward your future with the courage I now bear
And if the next life opens like a door we step into
I’ll stand there in the doorway long before your shadow comes
If only time was kind I’d spend forever finding you—
not in endings
but in the place where every sunrise starts as one
