Spirits touching across the room

Strangers though they are

A face unknown in present time

Comes back from afar

A life before the one we know

Generations past

Spirits touching intimately

Leaving me aghast

Lost bodies in a crowded room

Still our spirits touch

I feel your heart reach out to mine

Desiring so much

A sensual touch in my heart

Tells me you are near

I look around to see your face

Someone I hold dear

And there you are across the room

Staring straight at me

A face I’ve never seen before

I know what I see

All alone in this crowded room

I can’t draw a breath

Your lingering eyes lock with mine

Coming back from death

I hear you speak my name so soft

Though you make no sound

With each beat, my heart calls your name

Forever we are bound

I cross the crowded room so fast 

Calling out your name

Unfamiliar syllables

Make me feel insane

Our spirits rushing to embrace

Parted for so long

Lovers parted by tragedy

Death was our last song
