Dreams

the whispers of the night ring out so loudly in my head
as I struggle to take hold of these emotions left unsaid
a spark of memory portrays an image on my mind
together, you and I upon a quiet mountainside

the distance now between us sends me to a silent hell
wanting you but knowing there's no easy way to tell
my heart longs for the days when you were here to come again
pouring into tears of selfish misery I sin

Why is it that you and I were meant to be apart
When all the time we spend just flies away and breaks my heart
Why can I not tell you that you're everything to me
Before you turn away and follow after all your dreams

time cannot reverse to bring you back again today
missing you becomes the very thing I do and say
remembering the times we stood outside there all alone
quiet stillness drowning out the day's lingering tone

above it all, an echo drowns the tune of wanting you
it haunts me, tries to fight me back from love, from what I do
the doubt that overpowers makes my heart sink in this frame
but then I look at you and know that everything's the same

I've never felt this way about just anyone before
I can't remember knowing you as well as I do now
I've given you my heart, I'll wait to see what you will do
but tell me, will you come to me, as I have come to you?
