A Dream By the Lake Side

It is always the same dream
You and I by the lakeside, watching the sun set
In silence and our bare feet feeling the stream
The fading sun closing a chapter hard to forget

It is always a cloudy and stormy night closing in
Vividly symbolising what losing you implies
Beyond the skyline the sun rapidly sinks
I’m terrified and awaken as you evanesce with the tides

When awake I keep returning to the lakeside
Hoping to rewind the dream and have it rewritten
Waiting for you to come back by my side
Hoping to hold you tight and never be awaken
