giving up the ghost
I am struck with deep fear at the thought
You were the one I loved the most.
But can you lose a love that you never saw.
I found myself on your doorstep. I guess that’s how we met.
I closed my eyes and took a leap. Like falling into a dream once you’re asleep.
I felt like I was praying. I felt like you were there.
Like falling into the arms of the one you have always longed for.
And for a moment, just for a second.
Dreams were real.
Close your eyes to see my love.
Close your eyes to dream.
One day I will meet you again.
Forget the life you know, then
Living will begin.
I felt like I was at home. But never a door or a doorstep did I see.
The next day I woke up to find you gone. And myself asleep.
I drove around looking for your house for hours.
Eventually I would turn the corner and you would be there.
Eventually I would be on your doorstep again.
Eventually I would walk through your door.
Or you would walk through mine.
But never a door or a doorstep did I see.
You see that becomes a problem. Eventually.
All the papers say that dreams are not real.
And the reports keep coming in how
…..dreams
Cannot come to life.
But I knew better. All the scientists had forgotten how to dream.
So foolish. I knew more than them.
All of them had forgotten.
But I remembered you.
For me there had never been a question.
I am not given to forget the faces i saw in my dreams or
The words that were said.
You said,
That everything would be ok for once.
I remember being with you felt like forever.
I thought you even said forever.
All I had to do was close my eyes to see
Close my eyes to dream, to imagine, to feel
And you would be there with me, forever.
I didn’t know how to dream for all that long, but I knew how to dream for a few hours
And maybe if I practices hours could become days, and days could become forever.
But nothing came save sleep. No one here but me.
Come to visit me again my love. So I can believe in dreams.
I can remember a few times you visited me..
It felt like you were here again. It felt like life was good again.
It felt like forever.
I thought.
But then the dreams came less often.
I slept more and more.
I kept waiting for a dream to walk into my living room.
Or for me to walk into a dream.
I like a sailor waiting for his ship I sat on the edge of consciousness.
Waiting for you.
Hours passed. Days passed. Years passed.
No sign of a dream came on the horizons of my closed eyes.
Close your eyes to see my love.
Close your eyes to dream.
One day I will meet you again.
Forget the life you know right now
living will begin.
I still long to believe in dreams.
I still long to feel you with me.
All the papers say that dreams are not real.
And the reports keep coming in how
…..dreams
Cannot come to life.
I still long to believe in dreams.
They say I should I forget my dreams.
And I know that my mind “can” stay awake.
But, my heart cannot give up this ghost
