Another Time, Another Place

I love you
With all of me,
I truly do
And I know
You love me too
I see it in
Your nervous eyes
As you smile
Right past
Your insecurities.

But these are not
Our lives, love,
This isn't our
Chance to be
Fate played a game,
Watched it unfold
From the moment
You said hello
That summer afternoon.

But maybe there is
A time, a place
Where we will be reborn
And we'll outdo our fates,
Meet each other before
The world has beaten us down
And grown us weary,
Jaded, really,
A place, a time
When we'll spend our lives
In each other's arms,
Watching the years pass by
Kissing our mortality away
One day at a time,
Having known love,
Having loved you
From the moment
You'll say hello
That summer afternoon.

Perhaps, there will be
Another time, another place...
