True North

Where do we go when it’s all said and done?
Someday I’ll meet you 
somewhere beyond the stars; 
It doesn’t matter how many times we look away, 
In a hundred lifetimes you are with me 
in a place there are no words for;
You poured faith into an empty glass; 
What can transcend things like mortality and time? 
 Nothing, but a gift like that;
Where do we go when it’s all said and done?
Someday I’ll see you 
in a world yet to be discovered;
It doesn’t matter how many times 
or what pries us apart;
In a hundred ways even if 
I have yet to see the reason, you saved me;
What can transcend the direction of True North? Nothing;
We have always been 
and always will be together;
Someday we will be gone, 
but we will leave behind a night sky 
painted with stars.
