You Were But A Fleeting Dream
A fleeting dream, which you seemed to be,
left just as quickly as you came.
A whirlwind of romance you were to me;
A burning love with intense flame.
But now all that’s left is ash and debris;
Grief-stricken and torn is what I became.
A broken heart that I didn’t foresee
is the price I pay to entertain this game.
Never understood why you flee?
Giving up on us is such a shame.
You chose to be single, but aren’t you lonely?
I thought you loved me, or so you claimed.
This love isn’t over and I know you agree,
‘cause how I feel for you, you feel the same.
Hard to forget a love once thought to be
a blessing that I vow to one day reclaim.
If you have any hardship or difficulty,
or if I did something where I was to blame,
I wish that you would just talk to me;
Not knowing what went wrong drives me insane.
I’m not giving up on you that easily
In my dreams I still hear whispers of your name.
As fleeting as this dream may be,
but what’s real are my feelings that still remain.
You were but a fleeting dream to me,
a dream that will return from whence it came;
And if a reconciliation is a possibility,
won’t you reach out to reignite our flame?
