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
