I loved, once upon a dream
Which only, it would seem
Lasted a heartbeat.
One frozen moment in time.
My heart understood yours, in perfect rhyme
Without reason or need.
You were there,
Stroking your hand gently across my hair
As I gazed into your eyes
Thinking, perhaps, at long last,
I'd found a love true, but it passed
As quickly as a scented breath exhaled upon the wind.
It leaves a bitter taste within my heart,
Screaming inside, torn apart
Wanting nothing more than to forget.
Perhaps, someday, I'll be able to honor this love as it deserves
With more than pleas and bitter words
A gentle rememberance, bittersweet.
I hope, I pray, to all the gods that be
That someday you'll be able to forgive me
For the weakness that provokes my frequent slips
Into a dream that once was mine,
Freely, to be dreamed with you for all of time.
Until then, I wait.
Quietly and alone,
Longing to return home
Safe within your arms.
Knowing, yet, that this shall never be
Still, the dream stays with me
So forgive me, please,
While I learn to forget.
