It Took Us Aeons

It took us aeons
To meet again.
And when we part
With a promise..

To meet again
Aeons later in some other life
In some other form

Then also I‘ll be me
And you you,
In all our familiarity
and oneness
We‘ll embrace
Like we never parted

How do I tell you now
That I was mistaken
Believing in deathlessness
And in promises of permanence.

You might never be you
And me I
After we embrace
and say goodbye.
