In my perfect world
In my perfect world there would be no tears
Only hopes and dreams, no darkness or fears.
The man you love would love you back
he wouldn't leave and I wouldn't of cracked
He would never leave me and just not return
Leaving me alone with a heart left to burn.

In a perfect world you wouldn't haunt my dreams.
I could sleep in peace understanding nothing is as it seems.
You said this is love and I was the one, now your gone and I can't find you and this isn't fun.
I toss and I turn and a sweat in my sleep wishing I could really hold you and you were mine to keep.

Then in the morning, I awake, and your gone all again.  The memory of you fades and now were not even friends.

In a perfect world you'd call to say hi, and ask how my day was and sometimes stop by.  We would't necessarily be lovers per-say but you would be in my life, somehow, someway.

In a perfect world you never would have left you would have taken me, but instead what you did was a theft.  You stole my heart and you never returned, guess this world isn't so perfect, thats what I've come to learn.
I fell in love 7 years go and 5 years ago he left me for Australia and I still haven't recoered.  The wounds may have healed but the scars remain.
