Remembering

I'm waking from this dream Returning to reality is so bittersweet But I open my eyes and the illusion is fading Slipping away It was just within reach, yet so far I lay here all alone once more I dreamed you were beside me You were there once again, as if you had never left and I remember wanting to say, asking you not to go But I know that was impossible then... You say, "I can't stay here" as my damp eyes open The sunshine's on the bleak horizon It's just another day I look out at dimly lit buildings and I think of you Am I imagining you here, right next to me? Your eyes catch my own I look back fleetingly, before I realize you're really there I dreamed you'd be beside me, that we would meet again Your eyes glisten, your tears are falling I know you have not forgotten the last time we shared As I quietly watch you wipe your tears away Although I've found you, I know this meeting will not last I have to let go, continue finding a way Though I will miss you It's time to wake from this dream
