The Dream of My Life

Last night I had this dream.

It was nowhere near ones I've had before,

Bit it was exactly how I felt.

Someone followed me as I walked alone through a dirty, broken neighborhood.

They pulled a gun and threatened to hurt me.

I cried and cried and cried...

I prayed you would come and rescue me,

But you were nowhere to be found.

Just when I thought I was going to have to leave you behind,

I woke up.

Tears welled in my eyes

And I was scared.

Then I realized what had happened.

I found out what my life would be like without you,

And how lost, lonely, and hurt I'd be.

That's why I haven't let go yet.
