Dear You

I saw you in my dreams last night

A jaded reality

I heard the words that were never said

An illusion choked up in my head

I found you where the land meets the sea

Two different pasts destined to meet

I showed you how to dance in the rain

You showed me how to deal with the pain

The despair disappeared for a while

You were the one person that could make me smile

I taught you how to set yourself free

You taught me how to drift away at sea

Felt lost all my life

Felt the sharp edges of the knife

Your love cut deeper than my blade

For a brief moment I didn't feel afraid

To love

Our love ended before it ever really began

You just couldn't be that type of man

My glass mind now scattered

My crystal heart now shattered

To pieces

Your words find me every now and then

Was I just another toy in your playpen?

I don't think so

Maybe I'll never know

Ever

You're the reason I can't sleep every night

You said the timing just wasn't right

But your words meant so much to me

For once in my life I felt free

At last

Is it bad I still think about you?

Sometimes I think about what you want, or who

Me?

I guess it was never meant to be

Forever

The scars will fade

You never turned out to be who you portrayed

But I'll be fine one day

Even with you far, far away

From me

We were so real, not a silhouette

Now my life feels like an endless pirouette

Maybe one day I'll spin into the right person's arms

And forget about all of your charms

That once meant something

I helped you find yourself

You helped me love myself

It's over now
