Beautiful Dream

I can see you in the distance. I can feel the warmth of your beating heart. But I know it’s all an illusion, The trick of a soul long torn apart. I can feel the whispers of your breath, As you lay so close to me. You’re here, yet somehow not at all. Worlds apart, yet so clear to see. Sometimes I wonder if I’ve lost you, Or if it’s me who is truly gone. A small lifeboat set adrift, Lost in a lie for oh so long. I used to feel your touch on my shoulder, Could taste your lips on mine. Oh, what riches I wouldn’t give, To sink in that bliss just one more time. To fall asleep in your arms, Only to wake up all alone, Why can you never seem to stay? My empty bed, my empty home. Snow piled heavy atop the leafless trees, I was freezing but didn’t care. I turned around, hoping to see you one last time, But you were never even there. Snow piled heavy atop the leafless trees, I was freezing but didn’t care. I turned around, hoping to see you one last time, But you were never even there. But you were never even there...
