Oh! The cruelty of my dreams

For a second there I thought I had you
I was holding you in my arms
And you were holding me in yours
I felt your every touch, your warmth
I heard your laughter I missed dearly
For a second there I thought I had you

I do not allow myself to think of you
It has been years since I saw you
And yet your visage is still clear in my head.
I still remember the fourth of May,
As if it happened yesterday
Because you were there
And I was there with you.

But when you showed up at my door
I began to believe all is not lost
For a second I could hug you,
I could dance with you ,
Dance like we had before,
I laid next to you while we talked.
I could cry on your shoulder.
For a second there I had you

Oh the cruelty of my dreams
They knew all the places in me
The ones I never even knew I had      
And they are the only places,
That  ache the most,
Only where your memory dwell.
I managed the pain well,
And now it is all I feel.

I went to sleep and you were there
I woke up, only to find out one thing.
You were never there to begin with,
Oh! The cruelty of my dreams....
