I once was a pardoner raising a palace in the ignorant's fear.
I once was a crumpled map.
Lost in the manner of reading myself, I had to figure out the way.
I once was a waterman sailing in the lightest seas.
I could tell you now what it is to be somewhere nobody knows.
But I never had the chance to be loved.
I once was a messenger singing my thoughts with a traveling band.
I once was an astrolabe letting the stars and the sun decide the moment of the day.
I once was a sorcerer burned for my medicines.
I could tell you now what it is to be born with a million lives.
But I never had the chance to be loved.
I have seen the things you see.
I have spoke the words you speak.
I have walked the roads you walk a thousand times.
I have learned the things you learn.
I have met the ones you meet.
For the first time of my life, will I ever feel
your love?
