The Day We Almost Met Again
©Schantell Wharton

(Verse 1)
Ten years, a lifetime, flipped through pages, dusty yearbook in hand
Smiling faces, teenage dreams, etched in a forgotten land
Your name, a whisper on my tongue, a melody bittersweet
Haunted by the summer we said goodbye, love incomplete

(Pre-Chorus)
College miles stretched like a lonely road, promises tangled in the breeze
Heard you found your forever, a picture perfect family

(Chorus)
Then fate, a cruel comedian, threw a punchline in the rain
Coffee shop corner, heart in my throat, your eyes met mine again
A million unspoken words hung heavy, a lifetime in a single glance
The day we almost met again, a bittersweet second chance

(Verse 2)
Laughter lines etched stories on your face, a flicker of the girl
I knew But a different hand held yours, a life built without me, it's true
We exchanged small talk, weather worn, a dance on broken memory lane
The space between us, a universe, a love that couldn't withstand the rain

(Pre-Chorus)
Maybe in another life, under a different sky
Our paths wouldn't have diverged, our love wouldn't have died

(Chorus)
Then fate, a cruel comedian, threw a punchline in the rain
Coffee shop corner, heart in my throat, your eyes met mine again
A million unspoken words hung heavy, a lifetime in a single glance
The day we almost met again, a bittersweet second chance

(Bridge)
Goodbyes echoed in the silence, a hug goodbye, a final touch
Leaving a bittersweet aftertaste, a love we loved just a little too much

(Chorus)
Then fate, a cruel comedian, threw a punchline in the rain
Coffee shop corner, heart in my throat, your eyes met mine again
A million unspoken words hung heavy, a lifetime in a single glance
The day we almost met again, a bittersweet second chance

(Outro)
The day we almost met again, a bittersweet memory
A reminder of what could have been, a love lost eternally
