DREAMS

                 

Why must dreams be so painful..

Making their way deep into the heart?

Is it because we know there’s no chance

Of the outcome not tearing us apart?

 

In dreams our lives are blended

With love and fulfillment so rare,

Only in dreams can this really happen,

Displaying how deeply we both care.

 

At night the tears fall so gently

As petals from the most beautiful rose;

Until all that’s left is emptiness

As only unrequited love knows.

 

Yet we’ll both continue to dream

Knowing this is all it can ever be;

We’ll go on living in our pretend world,

Rather than face the stark reality

 

That our dreams are all we’ll ever have

Circumstance seems to rule the day;

Even in dreams, I'll always love you

Though you'll always remain so far away.
