This life

This life
I see you clearly walking towards me from the last life
And then into my next 
And into the next of the next, 

However, what I have is the present. 
Whenever I 
Wake up dreamless
I would be concerned I have eternally missed
Missed you, alas-

I want to return to the moment when the mistake happened
To freeze that scene

Stopping the time:
You’d always be in the position of standing up to leave:
I’d always be reaching towards you.
