you were there with me,
in my dreams
making me laugh until my belly ached.

you were there with me,
in my dreams
which i wish were true when i went to wake.

you were there with me,
in my dreams
holding my hand and walking with me.

you were there with me,
in my dreams
you driving and i in the passenger seat.

you were there with me,
in my dreams
as a warning to stay away.

you were only there with me,
in my dreams
as a red flag of betray.

you aren't here with me,
in my dreams
for i have given you up.

you aren't here with me,
in my dreams
because you're using me as backup.
