Maybe, in Another Life wip

I heard your footsteps go down the block You didn’t look back, so I didn’t stop Held my breath like it might rewind time But we both know that’s just a lie My hands were open, yours were tied So we let go with quiet eyes You kept moving like you had to try I turned away but just in time You looked over your shoulder Just as I disappeared Maybe if I’d waited longer... You’d still be here Maybe, in another life We’d meet where the stars align No clocks, no flights, no last goodbyes Just you and me with time on our side Maybe then we’d get it right I’d hold your hand, not the what-ifs at night But this world don’t bend to our hearts’ design So maybe… in another life I still see us in the coffee steam Flickering in someone else's dream You laughed once like we’d never end But even promises can pretend Our paths were close, but never crossed Like sunlight missed by morning frost I left too late, you loved too soon And the silence filled up every room You looked over your shoulder But I was already gone Timing’s just a story We never wrote on Maybe, in another life We’d meet where the stars align No clocks, no flights, no last goodbyes Just you and me with time on our side Maybe then we’d get it right No nights of rewinding every fight But this world don’t bend to our hearts’ design So maybe… in another life And if I see you again No names, no need to explain Just a smile like we already knew... This life just wasn’t made for two Maybe, in another life We’d stay and not just try No ghosts, no half-goodbyes No dreams that slip when we close our eyes Maybe then we’d get it right… But this one wasn’t ours to write So maybe… in another life
