Somehow, Two Lifetimes Came To Collide

- originally written August 3, 2006 -

All those sleepless nights.
All those confusing dreams.
I'm beginning to see some light.
I finally understand the seams.

I've come to a realization.
I think I finally understand.
And yet I feel no elation.
Somehow this isn't grand.

I had wondered a number of times,
What all those dreams could have meant.
In searching, I wrote too many rhymes.
As thoughts of you came and went.

I thought we were meant to be together.
That the dreams were of a life to come.
The future was something we could weather.
That we would never have to succumb.

But it wasn't the future I was looking at.
It wasn't what was coming after all.
The realization came like a hit from a bat.
Now all that's left is enough to make me fall.

Its not the future in which we belong.
It was all in a past life that you and I reside.
All along, all this time, I had it all wrong.
Somehow two lifetimes came to collide
