I had two dreams.
The beginning was identicalWe were in your car
And I could've swore the stars were following us
I told you I wanted to climb up there and hold them
You laughed at me
But stopped the car to let me watchI stood on the roof of you car with my arms outstretched
You watched me spin in circles
As I stared upwardsI felt like I was in a vortex and I was going to be taken away
Then I cried,
I cried because the world was so small
And I wanted it too be too big again
I cried because I was so low
And I wanted to reach upwards and grab the nearest star and climb them all the way to the next galaxy
I laughed at myself then
Closed my eyes, imagined myself just grabbing stars.After that these two dreams diverge
In the first you got me back in the car
We talked,
Talked about our past our futures
I told you that my future was too gloomy to walk into
You told me your past was too gloomy to look atYou promised me a brighter future
And the stars shinned brighter with every word we sharedThen we went home,
Nothing more than friends
And you left me at my driveway.I awoke expecting to feel like hell
You left me on the edge of nothing,
But I felt like something was going right.
I felt like something with us was going to be okay.The second dream you laid with me on the roof,
I told you no one else felt right against my skin
You told me no one else felt right when they climb into yours
You told me I was beautiful
I told you I loved youThe stars shinned brighter every moment we sat there
When you kissed me there,
On the roof of your car,
It felt like everything was right againI awoke expecting this change in feeling
Like this time Id feel better than the last one,
But instead,
There was nothing newMy life without you is a movie full of plot holes
And I dont think there's a chance that anyone will watch it without youBut I realized then I dont need to love you anymore.
You dont need me to love you anymore.
We dont need to love each other
We never did
The love was simply a bonus.
One we may be blessed enough to get backSo I went outside,
And I looked up
The stars shinned brighter every time I blinkedI reached out my hand and slowly closed my fist around the brightest star
I closed my eyes, and unleashed the starSaying
"It'll all be okay"I sent it to you
I hope you got it
