I have looked in the eyes of imagination
I have felt fantasyโ€™s warm embrace
I have often dreamed of the sweet sensation
Of staring into your beautiful face

I have felt the universe come alive
I have seen the world fade away
The day I saw your happiness thrive
And your precious smile stay

I recall with great fondness
The sight of the truest beauty
The love I felt was sheer madness
Yet it was perfect insanity

A moment when the future did not matter
Because the future already was
A world where nothing could shatter
It was a place where nothing was

It was perfection in the incomplete
It was satisfaction in the empty
It was like flying in a fleet
A belonging of being free

I cannot forget that you left
A moment that never fades away
A moment of emotional theft
A time of losing my way

Despite the pain I felt then
It is a moment I am thankful for
I wish that moment would come again
Just so that could see you some more

But like footprints in the sand
The moment has faded
And no one can ever understand
How I feel like Iโ€™ve been raided

With very little left of me
I look and hope for another
To walk with me, right next to me
Being happy with each other
