Reincarnation

What a lovely dream
that we need not worry
about the length of our time
in the here and now.

 

That our years together
never really end
only take respite 
while our souls
find new times, new ways
for our love to grow.

 

But then, perhaps,
it’s not a dream
and we have not fallen
in love overnight
only taken the time
to see our old selves
behind new faces
and remember the love
we have always had.
