Who are you?
Why do you look like her?  
you are nothing like her
she is sweet and caring
and she loves to be with me
she dreams of a life together
with a big house and kids
you don't have her smile
her soft touch or tender kiss

Who are you?
Why do you look like her?
I don't understand, why?
are you taking her stuff
and walking away, why?
you can't be her, because
she wouldn't leave
she wouldn't hurt me
she wouldn't cause me
so much pain, or treat
me the way you do
she wouldn't break
my heart, crushed my dreams or leave me
here broken and alone
Who are you?
What have you done
with her?....

If you could only see
what I see, when
I look at you
you will fall in love
with me, the way
I felt for you

If you could only feel
what I feel when
you are next to me
you would realized
how fast you make
my heart beat

maybe, I should
wake up from this  
beautiful dream
and accept my life
without you
but is so hard, so
I pretend and
I live between a lie
and a dream

some call me crazy
but they do not
understand this is
my way to heal from
my shattered dreams
and my broken heart

When I dream, I see
this beautiful world
It has everything
I always dreamt of

I am happy
she is with me
our garden is so colorful
our sky is blue
our stars are bright
I can't believe how
beautiful this
world is...

When I dream, I feel
my heart beating
with love and happiness
my soul feels
no pain there are
no scars my soul
and heart are free

I wish I didn't have
to wake up, I wish
this was not just
a dream, I want
to open my eyes            
and still be here
living in my dream
where there is
not pain or hurt,
not past or broken
dreams...

but my reality is
different and
it hurts like hell
to open my eyes
and to wake up
to my real life,
I don't know
what to do or where
I go from here...

I wish I could stop
this feeling inside me
that brings you back
at night before falling asleep

I wish I could stop
this feeling inside me
that reminds me every
morning that you left
and took a part of me

I wish I could stop
this feeling inside me
that doesn't let me enjoy
the sun, moon or beach
because it brings memories
of how beautiful
it used to be

I wish I could stop
this feeling inside me
that keeps on reminding me
that I lost, by not letting
you win, at the end
we both lost
now this love story
is over
between you and me....

I dreamt of your bright eyes
your radiant smile
your long and soft hair
your beautiful face

I dreamt of holding you
hugging you, kissing you
making love to you
it was so magical

I dreamt of singing with you
dancing with you
writing a poem for you
looking at the sunset

I dreamt of the magical day
the beautiful white dress
the white picked fence
the kids running in the yard

I dreamt of forever with you
growing old together still
in love, like the first day
what a beautiful dream

what I didn't dream was
you leaving, walking away
breaking my world in pieces
causing me so much pain

maybe I was so naive
that my dream was all
I want it to see, the truth
what I didn't realize was that
your dream wasn't with me

Mom
It has been ten years
since you gone, time flies
my pain is still the same
my heart is still broken

I miss you like the first day
when you left to be with God
I don't know
what was his rush
I couldn't say good bye,
when I arrived,
you were gone

Time doesn't heal pain
what a lie,
it just push it down
until is time
to resurface again

I been here so many times
with tears all over my face
thinking, dreaming
about what
could it been if
you were here

I know life doesn't go back
doesn't matter how much
you want it, doesn't matter
how much it hurts,
it moves on
and far from yesterday

All I wanted was for you
to be happy, and to heal
your pain, I really hope  
I helped in some way
you did so much for me
I will never forget

I see u from afar
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
different emotions, I feel
running thru my body
I can't move
I can only watch

I imagine me, next to you
looking at your eyes
touching your hair
slowly running my
fingers thru your face
it feels so real
at least for me

suddenly, she touches me
and whisper in my ear
love you baby
and I wake up, yes
it was a dream once again

I don't know
how to stop them
I can't tell her
that every night
you come back to me and
fill my dreams with
emotions that only you
can make me feel

It is sad and painful for me
what did you do to my soul
why does it bring you back
every night in my dreams
how do I turn it off?
how do I get rid of it?
