A gentle smile and hidden blush 
We can't deny our secret crush 
Eight years apart in counted time 
In silent bliss our hearts in rhyme 

I cherish our meeting at heaven's glance 
But cursed be our unseen chance 
In love, I feel we are one and the same 
In music, friendship and life's other games 

I wish upon you the sweet smell of light 
A montainous feat of impossible right 
And in darkness may you hold with grace 
The swell of love that leaves no trace 

My heart's unspilt in reality's shame 
And I close my eyes in fear of blame 
Locked in patterns of religious civility 
The wheel moves forward 
And we lose our mobility 

So love to you my dear sweet friend 
The time will come when it all comes to end 
So let this not be a sad goodbye 
But a space created for our souls to lie 

In another time 

In another place 

In another life...
