Running through the fog,
A heavy mist of memories
Flood my brain, along with fear,
As I imagine you standing there
Beyond the glass of reality
Where our fractured dreams
Reveal a partial truth.
Why do you now lurk there?
Haunting my every thought,
I will one day forget your face
And the pain of hearing your name,
For there is no greater folly
Than to have love and
Suddenly lose it all,
Like it was never there
From the start.
It's funny how I wish
You would vanish from my mind,
But my heart is holding on
To your precious memory.
I guess a part of you
Will always live on in me.
Our fantasy was real
Until the day
When everything changed.
I couldn't please you,
I failed to fulfill my promise,
And, now that you're gone,
Guilt consumes me.
On that day, I lost someone who
Would have loved me
Until their lungs collapsed,
But they vanished,
Stepping into that infinite
Black abyss.
You don't know how much
I long to join you.
Seeing your ethereal figure
Standing behind the glass
In this heavy fog
Is a powerful reminder
Of what I have lost.
In the end,
We were a dream
That could never be realized.
Memories of us live behind this glass,
A place where our fractured dreams
Give way to a partial truth.
