Across the Boundless Dark [SSC8 Time Travel Challenge]

Where fading waters dim the light A shadow moves below I follow thee beside the stream Where silent waters go There's a voice I almost recognize beneath the city's restless sound older than the names we’re given older than the ground Upon this shore, upon this shore I seek thee whom I do adore Let love become the current's part And carry me unto thy heart I don't know whose face I'm searching for when I lean over and stare but something in the water knows me more than anyone who's held me here I see thee in the water's glass I found her in an archive once Not face, but form half-known A portrait faded, edges lost Thou art not born, my dearest soul No name to trace, no thread to follow Yet still I know thy grace Like she'd stepped out of my life Someone I’ve never met keeps pulling me close I found her in the water, not in the world I know I don’t know if I chose her, or something pulled me through But every road I walk is leading back to you Then let me burn and leave no mark Turn ash upon the air Too deep for time to overcome Too far to e'er forget To love across the boundless dark To burn and leave no mark And still adore Upon this shore… Upon this shore… I seek thee whom I do adore… Upon this shore… Upon this shore… I adore you too… Upon this shore… I'm here …I was always here.
