While i was sleeping you slipped away
Living in a dream leaving reality at bay
The fight within consuming me
Finding myself so i can break free
Now you are gone there is no rewind
Though you are still in my thoughts and on my mind
Memories and regrets reminding me i am alone
Progressing into the unknown
The light around me has faded
Your time has dissipated
Left with the regret
Though the future is not set
So close yet so far
Like a distant star
While i was sleeping i thought i heard you cry
When i woke up i thought i saw you out of the corner of my eye
Author's Notes/Comments:
This one is about one of my ex's. We emailed back and fourth a few times last year and then i got caught up in my own problems. I knew she had heart problems and was waiting on a heart transplant. So a few weeks ago i decided to look her up online and found out she passed away in july of this year. Though we were not together i still wish i had kept in contact and now that chance is gone forever. Though i did learn something from it and i finally called my mother as i know i would never forgive myself if i didn't make an effort to keep in contact with what little family i have left. For those of you that read this and you have close friends or family and had a falling out or whatever the case. Life is short and if you have a chance to make things right do it. In the end everyone has to live with the choices they make.
