My loved ones went away,
Only strangers came to stay.

This is not a dream,
But a nightmare,
That became reality.
Those I held so dearly,
Were taken away from me.

Those little things, I took for granted.
Those precious moments, way back then,
Are all I have to cling to.
They never seemed important then.

The dreams, we dreamed together,
Are like footprints in the sand.
The winds of change, has swept them away.
Leaving not a trace to be found.

I'm living now in silence,
With only echos from the past.
Voices in the distance,
From a heaven thats so far.

Yes, my dreams turned into my nightmares.
The hands of time are still.
Although memories will never fade.
And I know they never will.
