What a beautiful dream
our eyes were locked
into each other's
our hearts were beating
at the same bit
our minds were just thinking
about the past
how glad we were
we could be together
in the same dream
memories of yesterday
the best of all the things we did
we were smiling
I can't even describe what I felt holding your hand
touching your face looking you
in the eyes
talking with no words
reaching your soul and mine
a beautiful dream is stored somewhere in my mind
I will keep it there until I am ready
to say Goodbye....

We were two broken souls
that met in the darkest night
forgot about the pain
in their own hearts and
took a chance at love
one more time.

We were two dreamers
that never saw the red flags
we only saw what we wanted
love, happiness and the stars,
we thought we could win
because this was our time
how naive of us

First we laughed at the chaos
we created in our lives
then we walked away
as if, we hated each other
for not being able to bring
love and happiness to our lives.

In the end, nothing changed
we were two broken souls
that met in the darkest night
we gave our best shot at love
but our pain was greater
we truly never had a chance..

when I close my eyes
I don't go to sleep
I go to this beautiful world
where the sun always shines
where the grass is green
when I close my eyes, I see you
radiant, smiling looking at me
I give you my hand
you give me yours
then we take a walk far from all this
we talk about beautiful things
when I close my eyes
my pain goes away
all my struggles disappear
I see the sunrise, when the light
hits the flowers and they open up
later on, I see the magical sunset
I sit by the ocean with you
when I close my eyes, I am so happy
so alive, I see the world we dream
I wish I didn't have to wake up
I wish I could stay here..
Gary Zambrano Oct 2021
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...
Gary Zambrano Jun 2021
Where do we go from here?
now that our hearts
don't beat to the same rhythm
now that our souls
are walking at their
own pace

Where do we go from here?
now that our dreams
of together have died
and our thoughts don't
Include each other anymore

Where do we go from here?
there are no more roses
in our garden of love and
the singing birds do not
sing our love song


Where do we go from here?
most likely to a world
right before we met,
right before the first kiss,
right before we made love

Where do we go from here?
maybe to a healing place
where our hearts could rest
and rebuild for what is next
Gary Zambrano Sep 2018
Where are you?
why can't I find you?
I keep on looking for you
everywhere I go, but
I don't seem to find you
I keep dreaming about you
the most beautiful dreams
I see you smiling, I see your eyes glazing looking at me
I see everything so nice and clear
then I wake up my bed is empty
my life is missing something, YOU!
where are you?, please tell me so that I could go find you and bring
you here with me, I don't want to
wait for destiny or that beautiful
day we will meet, I want to
find you now please just tell me
where are you?....
Gary Zambrano May 2018
I dreamt that you were here with me
you were wearing that
beautiful red gown
that I used to love, I took your hand
I brought you into my room, I look at your eyes
I saw you and me in this beautiful paradise
I touched your face, I played with your hair the way I used to do
I told you I love you and you told me
I love you too
I looked in your eyes then we kiss
my soul came out of my body and connected with yours as one
then we made passionate unbelievable love
like when we first met, then you looked at me and smile  
you told me, I love you
I have to leave you said  
then when I open my eyes
you were gone
I was in my bed all alone, I forgot to ask you, where love goes?
where does this feeling goes?
where do I put this feeling?
I try burying it inside me, but it just keeps coming up
I don't know what to do with it, please help me get rid of it
if you ever visit me at night take it with you wherever you are
I just want to be free
I just want my life back...
Gary Zambrano Nov 2021
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?....
Gary Zambrano Apr 2018
why did you come one night to my dreams?
why did you touch my face?, and
gave me a kiss
if you knew that in the morning
you had to leave
why couldn't I keep you here with me?
Where are you?, why do you live in my dreams?
I haven't met you, but I feel like
I know you
I feel like we have so many
things in common
I want to spend so much time with you
who are you?, why does it hurt
to know
that when I wake up you will be gone
please, if you ever read this come back
during the day, look at me, smile,
give me a hug
tell me that you are finally here and tell me that you will stay
please, if you are not coming to my life
stop showing up in my dreams...
WHY
Gary Zambrano Feb 2020
WHY
Why did your eyes stop
reflecting my image
Why did your smile
disappeared from your face
even though you were
in front of me
You were fading away
a little bit at the time
What happened to us?
We were so happy and in love
the night before
making plans, building
dreams that now
will never come to pass,
I don't understand
When did love flew
away from us
How do I tell my heart that you
will not join us tonight,
I don't know
I feel your absence and
it hurts inside
You are my greatest lost
our memories, I will keep them
they will survive the
test of time
always remember you are
my most beautiful
memory of real love and
you will always live
inside my heart
Gary Zambrano Jul 2021
Without you
there is an emptiness
in my heart,
that you left
when you said
goodbye

Without you
there is a missing
star in the sky,
the one that used
to shine when
we lied down on
the grass talking
about anything

Without you
the sunny days
are just days
they don't
feel the same
I don't know if
they will ever
come back to
feel the way
they felt with you

Without you
the roses don't have
the smell you
used to loved
is gone, and
I don't know
how to get it back

Without you
my life has
taken a turn
I was not expecting
I was not prepared for
and it really hurts

Without you
everything changed
I had cried and
looked back
where we went wrong
all I know is that
without you
my life will never be
the same again
Gary Zambrano Mar 2021
Yes I'm a dreamer
that's the part you never understood from me
that's the most beautiful
part of me, I'm a dreamer
I used to dream about
you and me together
in this beautiful paradise
I used to dream
of kissing you all night
I used to dream of walking
on the beach with you dancing under the rain
  with you, I used to dream
of you and me crossing
the finish line together
you never understood me
you don't know
how to dream
  Yes, I'm a dreamer and
I will never apologize for it because being a dreamer has made me who I am today
I know you no longer here
you said you couldn't be
with someone like me
a dreamer, so you left
I was hurt when you did
but, I survived. know this
I am still a dreamer, with a
heart full of love and
a dream to come to pass
Gary Zambrano Jun 2018
Yesterday, I loved you with all
my heart
I gave all I had, I put all your needs before mine
I put my love for you before my
self love, I showed you my soul
I remember when I met you, when I kissed you, when we made love
all the things that we did, that don't make sense anymore
I realized yesterday is gone and it won't come back
I'm letting you go, I wish you the best, I wish you happiness
I wish you find real love the one that doesn't die with time
today I say goodbye, remember to fully live and smile
we did the best we could, thank you for all the memories
I will keep them here inside my heart in our little space
I loved you my way, maybe it was
not enough, but
I did love you my way, which is
the only way
I learned to love, with all my heart.....
Gary Zambrano Dec 2021
After a few years
you are back here
in our favorite spot
you look amazing but
also sad,
what happened?
no ring on your hand

Did his love run out
or you realized that
it was me, all this time
I feel happy,
but also sad

You destroyed my soul
and broke my heart
took my dreams with
you and left me,
for a better life

for me it wasn't easy
but I survived, it didn't
**** me ,but it
destroyed
the most beautiful part

I could never have
the same love or trust
with anyone else, now
I walk away from love  
to protect my heart

It was nice to see you
please don't come back
take your fake love, fake cry
I don't believe
a word you say
with time,
I will love again
but a love like mine
you will never find...
Gary Zambrano Mar 2022
you know how long I waited
for your lips to touch mine
now you here and
I feel weird inside
sadly to say, is not the same

there are not butterflies
my heart rate is normal
last night that amazing feeling
that we used to have, was gone

you look beautiful as always
but you are not her, by far
the woman I felt in love with
she will never come back

all I have are the memories      
they belong inside my heart
next to our broken dreams
please go, let my healing start
Gary Zambrano Nov 2018
You ask me how I feel
I don't know what to say
I don't know how can you
understand if you never
felt this way
I feel like the flower feels
when they are pull from
their own garden
I feel what the night feels
when the moon is absent
I feel what the morning feels
when the sun is not shinning
how can I explain it to you
if you don't understand it
You ask me how I feel, I feel broken like a part of me
has died
I feel like you took the best and  destroy it, I feel sad
You ask me how I feel, I feel
like a fish out of the water
gasping for air before dying
You ask me how I feel
sometimes I feel dead inside
a big part of me left with you
I feel in a way that I could not
describe and I don't think
many people will understand
You ask me how I feel
I feel like yesterday was
all a lie
a dream, all in my head
one thing is true,
I will never love
or trust the same way again  
You ask me how I feel, I don't know because this is
so hard to describe
I feel like I loved and lost, this has left a deep hole
inside my heart...
Gary Zambrano Sep 2018
You left something in me
that time has not erased yet
You left many painful memories
I don't know what to do with them
I wish I could bring them to you
so, you can destroy them
You left so many broken dreams
nothing here is the same
I don't think I will ever love or
dream the same way, there is
a hole in my heart, that you left
I don't know what to do,
should I help it heal?, or
should I bring it to you?
so, You can put it to rest....
