Dream
Its a dream, just like any other one,
A memory that's not quite yet gone.
I find these arms wrapped around my body,
Whiffs of paradise that leave me heady.
My heart skips a beat, it always does,
Things like this happen when somebody loves.
Magic moments that vanish suddenly as they appear,
Without a trace, but for the telltale tear.
Drown in it for sometime,
How it would feel, if only you were mine.
This futile imagination is taking me places,
Giving me a a taste, showing me faces.
The past.. yes it was a long time back,
Full of people that this day does lack.
People that taught me of life, the cruel truth,
Somewhere along the line, the young boy lost his youth.
Grow up quickly when there's no one there,
No one to love you, no one to care.
And in the end, when the mist has lifted,
The dreamer has awoken and the soul has shifted.
Making choices like these is never easy,
Losing the one that meant the most to me.
As the new day surveys the nights casualties,
Finds me naked, but for my bag of memories.
That cling on to me from head to toe,
As I take to the road, as I go.
