Above the Time

lives tilted, grown to resemble each other; the moon swelling full, holding a wish

the words in parentheses I almost said, only now, mm mm mm

my anchor that reaches nowhere at all

you’re like an island I can never reach; the days I drifted lost

only now, mm mm mm; even if I don’t write it down

I’ll remember every bit of you, so wait

if at last we meet, beyond the borders of time

if we can stand without treading on the past, I’ll dance until I’m breathless

my outside that won’t brighten even by day, an endless night, the half that’s left

how about you, are you like me, my heart that ached at being unable to know

let’s go farther, above that freedom, to where tomorrow can’t find us

let’s meet there joyfully; only now, it’s okay even if you can’t spot me at a glance

I’ll recognize you, so wait; if at last we meet,

beyond the borders of time, if we can stand without treading on the past

I’ll dance until I’m breathless, at last, to meet the reason for my waiting

the one I never forgot even in my dreams, never could forget even half-asleep

I’ll call out your name, so wait; to win back you whom I had lost

enduring the tangled times, with two feet that won’t chase the future

I’ll run until I’m breathless, through a long, long epic

finally written as the very first line, I have no fear at all

lives wound around each other, stacked together; the moon quietly looking down on them

there’s still so much I want to say; look at us, we’re just like one
