You’re everything

That I’ve ever hoped for

The thought of you

Follows me everywhere

Brushing against my mind

A whisper on the wind

You haunt my dreams

Flitting in and out

Staying just long enough

To leave me smiling

But then you disappear

For that’s all that they are

And all that they will ever be

Dreams

Disappearing with the touch of reality

You fade away into fog

As I realize

It will never work

I try to let you go

Because we’ll never have

What it takes

I’ll never have that

But the tide keeps pulling you back

To me

Standing on the shore

And now,

The wind fills your sail once more

But I stand rooted

The waves lap my feet

And I watch you float away

Again

Will you come back this time?
