Lifeline
I miss you
But I don’t know you
I miss your smell
I miss the way you smile
I miss you
But I don’t know your name
I don’t know if you prefer tea or coffee
Or your favorite color
I don’t know how your face wrinkles when you smile
Or what you laugh sounds like
But my body
My heart
it knows you
It remembers you from lifetimes past
I remember how being close to you made me feel lighter
I remember what it is like to breathe around you
And until I find you in this lifetime I can’t breathe
Every inhale is cut short
It doesn’t satisfy my need for oxygen
My life is full of heart ache and longing when you are not here
Oh how I hate my body for remembering you so well
You’re like a stain left behind long after you have left my mind
But not my heart
You see that’s the problem
I can’t remember you
I can’t picture you
But my heart can’t stop picturing us
How am I supposed to truly live until I find you
Does your heart remember me to?
Is this our fate?
TO walk around with a hollow chest
Holding our breaths
Just hoping to bump into you
Oh how I await the day that we meet in this lifetime
To see the body you now have
To see how it fits with mine
To have our hearts intertwined again
But until then
This hollow heart of mine will be my reminder of you
I’ll never lose faith in finding
lifetime lover
