Do you still love me?

I pray that you do not

Although it hurts me

thinking I'm not loved back



I don't wish my pain on you

Everyday I try that much harder

to convince myself

I don't love you anymore



Sometimes I think I've made it

but I'm lying once again

'cause I still love you

in my dreams



I used to think these dreams

were nightmares

Last night

it wasn't true



You and I were happy

I was who I wanted

You were happy

with yourself

Together, we loved

each other

this one time again



When I awoke today, it didn't hurt

I could handle

that space in time

I didn't wish

to have you back

'cause I knew you

wouldn't be happy



I must let you live

your life

as you would like

But where does this leave me?



It hurts

to think about it

Simply go on

with my life without you



I thought there was

only one way

to end this torment

replace you with another man

But I realized as I awoke

I'm never happy doing that

I'd rather love you

in my dreams



I don't want to lie

That causes me more pain

I'd rather keep you here

in this fantasy

for at least, this space in time



I'll love our only child

the dear sweet baby girl

that you ignore

of my real life
