An Eternal Gift

When I saw you standing right there
I thought it was all in my mind
As a while ago you left me alone
To return to your very own kind

You come from where we all go to
Hundreds of years from now
Why are you here, what do you want
You know you've broken our vow

Last time we met not all was good
Harsh words were used in vain
So I suggested that this time 
We start anew again

As you agree, I watch your eyes
You seem so far away
A troubled look can tell a lot 
So please you need to say

A danger man, you say to me
Is coming, the time draws near
So please you must hear my words
It's worse than I had feared

He'll try his best to entrap your love
With items gained through greed
You must avoid him,  promise now
He begged, so I agreed

There are some questions I dare ask
How will I know this man
Have I the strength to face my fear
How do you know I can

These fears in me I can not fight
Don't make me face it alone
My heart believes this man is you
Something I know you've known

So why not tell if this you knew
Or can I help you change
I feel that I can free your soul
Do you think this is strange

So tell me now, how long I have
I hope it's more like weeks
As now I know this man is you
I know my love you seek

I now look down upon your face
What's that I see, a smile
That's all I need to ease my fears
It makes it all worth while

Are you here to help me through
Is that why you did return
Or maybe that my love for you
Was all your heart did yearn

Both of them and much much more
You love with an endless glow
So when you meet the present me
Let the love we have just flow

Do not hold back if I seem cold
My hurt has cut so deep
My memory of you is all I need
For my love to wake from sleep

When we meet for the first time
Chemistry will be strong and intense
These forces they come from deep inside
These forces, don't fight against

Our life will be tough, sometimes apart
Though our love will stay the same
For what I have learnt from all our lives
Only love can cure the pain

I will not look the same as now 
Only your heart will know I'm sure
As you look into my eyes 
The search you'll do no more

So when I meet this other you
Will you feel the same for me
Will you know just who I am
I'm scared of this you see

Yes my love how could I not
I'm here from the love you gave
I'll tell you this our futures good
You taught me to behave

So now I've said what I want
It's time for me to part
A hundred years is not that long
When you live in someones heart

Then we'll meet as true selves
Whoever they may be
Then we know we've finally earned
The gift of eternity
