「恋人」koibito; lover

Past lives, reincarnation, and the red thread of fate
She ponders upon it while lying on the bed
Ceiling low, lights dim, and the smell of rain from the window pane
She wonders why does she have to go through all the pain again

Wasted youth, damnation, and the red thread of fate
He discovers that she's always the one albeit a little too late
California King, seven pillows, and her smell emanating from the silk sheets
How can he tell her he's sorry for all that he did?

The red thread of fate soon unravels
It uncoils from the pinky finger of the lovers
They move forward staying in a parallel line
As the law rules out, parallels don't meet thus not bind

Is this the tragic end of the two koibito?
Can they suddenly be happy like winning the lotto?
Or forever shall they be unhappy as long as they live
For not being with the one you truly love brings you grief

Happy-ever-afters are so cliché, it's true
Even if you think that, you don't wanna end up miserable do you?
Unfortunately, fairytale and reality are two worlds apart
You have to fold even though you wanted to be the one holding all the cards

She gives up
So does he
"He doesn't love me anymore" she said; hands trembling around her teacup
"She really hates me now" said he; thinking of all the things they could be
