my other life

sometimes when i'm tired and alone, i get flashes of a life i've never known - sometimes i see friends i've never met before, places i've never been before - sometimes

my other life comes clear to me. never when i wait expectantly. could this be a sign of how my life could be, had i done things differently?

my lover there, it seems he knows me so well, and we're happy as far as i can tell - my love sometimes i think it's something yet to come, and not what i should have done - sometimes

and as i walk along this path, never do i feel like turning back. i recognize just how much i have grown, and all the love i've known
