Christine shrugs, a little helplessly.
"...I don't know about avoiding past mistakes... the things I see... or hear... they're fragments... glimmers and glimpses and glances and... oh... perhaps I am just making the same mistakes again... theme and variations... moonlight slanting through stained glass... he broke her heart... and can I forgive? Can I not forgive? ...for sure it was secrets that tore them apart... and... oh... "
She looks puzzled at her own questions, sings softly.
"I loved you once, I loved you twice
I loved you in my previous lives
I know your voice, I know your eyes
You haunt me through my dreams at night
Oh my love, we'll meet again
We always do in the end
Our two souls destined to be
You and I until eternity
We live on and on and on, death is weak and we are strong
On and on and on, time is weak and we are strong
And I see you and you see me
Your eyes are like a raging sea
I know it's you, I know it's true
I gazed into them once in a dream
Oh my love, come take my hand
Like you did in my dreamland
You feel the immortality
It's you and I until eternity..."
She tilts her head, considering.
"...yet second chances are so valuable... and I seem to need so many of them..."
Her voice trails off into a gentle hum, then she shakes herself awake again.
"What does the Universe say nowadays?"
She laughs.
"Everything... and nothing... and all the things in between... that you and I are little things... in the millennia that were... or are yet to be... yet at this moment... we are precious... because no one else is here... speaking these words... looking at these stars... feeling the touch of the breeze... the sound of the water... this moment will never be again... and we are here to witness it... and it makes me... it makes me... glad and sad and hopeful all at the same time... and despite everything... I keep my name..."
Another soft chuckle, then she sings again:
"But hey, don't listen to me
This wasn't meant to be no sad song.
We've heard too much of that before.
Right now I only want to be here with you.
Till the morning dew comes falling.
I want to take you to the island.
And trace your footprints in the sand.
And in the evening when the sun goes down
We'll dance to the sound of the ocean..."
