We are like two currents moving on different wave lengths
Oceans the will never meet
Two continents on different parts of the globe
So how shall we ever meet
We meet only to depart
Departure has become our only constant
Absence
The lack of your presence
So how shall we ever be
You inherited the life I once lived
I have moved beyond that but you are still there
How shall our worlds ever collide
Blinded by doubts, mistrust and so much pain
The past still dwells in the presence so how shall we ever heal
The waves are crashing against the beach
Rocking the sands back and forth
The waters have explored new lands
So how shall the currents ever meet
For they are oceans apart
They always depart
Flowing on other banks never in the same place
All that’s left between us is space
A cold void
Drifting further and further apart
Like oceans apart
