Memories
Last night I had such a vivid dream,
I was sure that it was real,
I was sure that when I woke up,
That I'd find you were still here.
And when I opened up my eyes,
The first thing that I did was smile,
At the thought of seeing you again,
I thought about the how, the where, the when.
But when I thought about these things,
I realized how wrong I'd been,
To fall for the hope and happiness,
That I'd felt in my dream.
I think about tomorrow,
How it feels empty without you.
I think about the special moments,
They're not the same without you, too.
I think about your jolly laugh,
How it made you smile and shake,
I think about how tight you hugged,
The more I think, the more my heart breaks.
But if for a second I forgot,
The way you walked or how you smiled,
If for a moment, I couldn't remember,
How you held me as a child.
If those moments escaped me,
I can't say I'd know what to do,
Because it's true that I'd be lost,
Without my memories of you.
