I was dating a girl in college, and I guess kinda wrote this melody for her. I thought it's something I should do. As a composer, so I should be able to write song for someone else. I was also a bit shy about it, so I don't think I really made it clear it was for her when I wrote it. The melody was pretty nice I thought, kinda cute, not too dramatic, peaceful.

Years later, when writing the lyrics, I kinda thought about the idea of separation. Then that's when I start thinking about my mom.

She passed away in 2021.

I think just the concept of separation made me suddenly think about her. I didn't really want to write exactly about her though, somehow that felt a bit uncomfortable. But she did inspire the main theme for the song: A woman in heaven gets reunited with her partner years later.

I liked that idea better, because it didn't feel too close to home, yet still a bit personal.

But it still reminds me of my mom when I hear that line:
"I watched you from above".

Lyrics

I have waited for you for sooo long
Finally you are here my love
Here is a place where you can do no wrong
Take a step into this heaven

Always knew, you would keep growing strong,
I watched you from above,
Even after I was long gone,
You spread love in your own garden.

I'm proud to have known you, in my life
And to have loved you with my heart.
I truly wish I could have seen the light
Before our fate had brought us apart.

In the next life, will I see you again?
Perhaps things won't be the same.
But I know even by another name
Our soul will always reach towards that flame.

[Hum]

Believe me, this is not the end my friend,
It's only a new beginning,
Together we can start all over again,
And this time I promise you,
we'll make it together until the end,
With a happy ending.
