The next time you dream of a lifetime with me
Consider what you have concealed
The next time you fathom a world that could be
Consider what this has revealed
If Truth is an option then you are forsaken
For nothing is built on mistrust
You can never revisit the paths you have taken
And in the end, we are nothing but dust
So on to the next
The next time you think of me I'll be approaching infinity
"Next time, I swear." Your empty attempt to atone
The next time I consider you, I will be so far from here
The next time you pray, in that breath, you are alone
Until the next time
Until the next one comes calling
These encounters are never the same
When only intentions remain
The next time you turn away from my imperfection
Just know that your truth is your private perception
And nothing of this will remain
We're dragging through separate frames
Next time just envision me another life away
Perhaps next time you should just pray for the next time
Or the next time
Or the next time
