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
