I don't think we'll ever meet

We’ve met a hundred times
But always in my mind
Sometimes I forget your lies
And keep you safe inside

It’s always random
We just bump into each other
And with all wisdom I can gather
I say something profound

I say: “My love, you’re running late”
Or ask: “Do you believe in fate?”
Or smile: “I think we’ve met before”

And in that moment you
Recognize me
You almost forgot, of course
Or, what’s worse,
Never wanted to remember

And yet here we meet
And we sit together
And you say “sorry”

Sorry for ghosting you
Sorry for not replying to
Your messages and calls
Sorry for empty walls
And forgotten promises

And in that moment I
Hold you
And I forgive, of course
Or, what’s worse,
Never wanted to let you go

We met a hundred times
But always in my mind
