“Parallel Time” by Nigel Nicholls reflects a longing for an alternate reality where lost love still exists. It expresses yearning, regret, and the desire to rewrite the past, blending nostalgia with the pain of what might have been.
Time drifts slowly
Like a wave in a pool
Time creeps upon me
It can be so cruel
I know I need
To stop looking back
I want your body
I need your body
A black and white movie
Flickers on the screen
Watching in silence
A space serene
I know I need
To stop looking back
I want your body
I need your body
Take me to a different place
Take me away
Let me see your face
Do it today
If only I could see
A way forward for you and me
I wish there was parallel time
So I can have what’s really mine
I know I need
To stop looking back
I want your body
I need your body
