Until We Meet Again

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 8 months ago • 1 min read

verse 1

I wasn’t looking for forever

when you walked into my life,

but something in your smile

felt like a memory I’d forgotten.

You were the place my soul recognized,

the calm in all my storms,

and for one brief, holy moment

I thought love had finally come home.

chorus

But the hardest thing in life

is meeting your forever love

and realizing they weren’t meant to stay

in this lifetime.

So I hold you in the quiet,

in the spaces where the heart pretends,

knowing love doesn’t disappear,

it just waits

until we meet again.

verse 2

We talked like we had centuries

of stories left to tell,

like we’d done this dance a thousand times

and knew every rise and fall.

But some souls are just passing through,

leaving light where they have been,

and you were the kind of miracle

that doesn’t come twice in one lifetime.

chorus

’Cause the hardest thing in life

is meeting your forever love

and realizing they weren’t meant to stay

in this lifetime.

So I hold you in the quiet,

in the spaces where the heart pretends,

knowing love doesn’t disappear,

it just waits

until we meet again.

bridge

Maybe love is bigger

than the years we get to share,

maybe every lifetime

gives us one more chance to care.

And if the universe is listening,

I’ll find you in the next one too,

’cause forever doesn’t end

just because I’m living without you.

final chorus

And the hardest thing in life

is meeting your forever love

and realizing they weren’t meant to stay

in this lifetime.

But I’ll keep you in my heartbeat,

in the places time can’t bend,

knowing love is never lost,

it just waits

until we meet again.
