Everything seems like a lifetime away,
I crave to see it in my sleep,
But when I close my eyes I’m dead awake.
The memories, so bittersweet,
I’ll never let them go.
They burn and hurt, and make me weak,
And yet I crave them more.
But all the lies, and all the pain,
I wish they’d still be here,
For in your eyes, that warm green flame,
I knew you would be near.
And in a daze, I call your name,
Your silhouette, it disappears,
As the memory of that soft green flame
Makes me prisoner to my tears.

Today you left, and a part of me left with you.
Not a sign remains that you were ever here.
And even though the burning
void inside me’s telling me I miss you,
I still can’t quite believe that dream was real.
You left again, and from my mind you now are fading,
and I’d give everything to feel just for a minute that you’re with me.
Just for a minute… tell me that the dream was real.

— The End —
