Fated, Not Destined

Soulmates? Not quite so. (Also red strings refer to the red strings of fate - you can read up more about it here: https://www.littlethings.com/red-string-of-fate/)

Perhaps it was a glitch of time,

Perhaps it was a misfortune

Perhaps it was reasons we couldn’t find

Or perhaps it was simply you and I

Thinking we’d share every single moonlight 

You and I, were only fated to cross paths.

And for everything unbeknown to us,

You and I, were not destined to last. 

I pray our red strings aren’t damaged in our next life 

Until then you and I,

We are only ships that pass in the night.

We tell each other not to grieve

We have so much more to live

I’d tell this to you, to myself, all the time

But what am I supposed to do?

When the sky cries, I cry with it too

Because every of my rainy day is spent talking about life

With you

When I pass by our favourite place, life is cruel enough

To remind me of the times we thought 

We weren’t walking on a delicate line

I guess we were both blind

Thinking we’d share every single moonlight 

You and I, were only fated to cross paths.

And for things unbeknown to us,

You and I, were not destined to last. 

I pray our red strings are mended in our next life 

Until then you and I,

We are only ships that pass in the night.

If there is another life after this, 

I want you to know, that I know

My heart will recognise no other,

Your soul will drift to no other

Until then, you and I

We are only ships that pass in the night.
