In our nature:

How ever did you fasten these strings upon my soul
so light I feel from the inside out
it must be something to do with your mouth

The way it presses so tightly to mine
is that how you’ve secured this twine?

Perhaps it’s in that smile you smile
the one meant just for me
I fear I’ll never know just what you’ve done
but suddenly I’m free

My mind’s awash with endless thoughts
and my heart burns bright as fire
my eyes give off a strange new glow
they follow wherever you go

So odd these feelings seem to me
you’re a curious kind of man
essentially a stranger
but I can’t be bothered to care

We’ve shared a life we can’t recall
a thousand years ago
this love we had was coveted
for this we both were cursed

Your name was stricken from my mind
your sweet face they did erase
they tried their best to harm our hearts
but our souls they could not touch

We lived and died in different worlds
oblivious of our passionate past
but our ghosts dared not forget
this love they kept alive

For years they searched so desperately
for glimpses of us both
they ached to be again as one
so long they’d been alone

One touch from you was all it took
to shake my soul awake
so here we stand as strangers still
our ghosts can now be whole

I now know how I loved you so
although I knew you not
our ghosts told such sweet stories
to help us solve the past

They’ve since dissolved and left us here
to wander love’s long path
I care not where the trail shall lead
your hand is all I need
