Old Soul
"You have an old soul."
You told me.
"Oh, I do, do I?"
"Yes, my dear."
"How can you tell?"
I breathed.
"By looking in your eyes."
"Oh."
I said.
And I wonder if that's true
Has my sould done this before?
Have I been born
Died
Only to be then reborn?
I wonder...
You're older than me...
Are you just trying to brigde
That gap
By saying my soul is old?
Is that your way
Of evening things out?
But if it's true
If my soul is old
Then doesn't that mean
I keep making the same mistake?
That I am reborn to fix it?
To avoid the sin I would commit?
Only to repeat the past...
Interesting..curious...
Now it all makes sense
My crime has been to love you
It has streched across lifetimes
Over and over
I fall into your eyes
Fall into your arms
Lay in your bed
Break all the rules...
Wait...what are rules, again?
Oh, yeah, those things
That govern...
Everybody else
Ah, well, here we go again
Let history repeat
And we'll see eachother
After this
In the next lifetime...
And the one after that...
