ALWAYS

[Verse 1]
Yeah... I pretend I’m your man
You roll your eyes, but still take my hand
I laugh, “Girl, you're always hangin' around”
You just wink, like love doesn’t need a sound

So clear—love’s eyes can see
A fire we swore would fade? Never
Let’s imagine, you and me
Writing poems that live forever

[Pre-Chorus]
I get by just thinking it’s real
In your arms, girl, it's fate I feel

[Chorus]
'Cause I can't go on
There’s no tomorrow
If I’m alone
Breathing through the sorrow
Breathe into me
Tell me it’s true
Don’t let me be the fool
Who believed in “me and you”

[Verse 2]
Just love me now, through eternity
We could be something real, you and me
This feeling won’t be chained or tamed
A love like this can’t be unnamed

Can’t you see? I want to be
More than just a fantasy
We could turn this dream to truth
There’s a world for me and you

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t need the world to understand
I just need you to take my hand

[Chorus]
'Cause I can't go on
There’s no tomorrow
If I’m alone
Breathing through the sorrow
Breathe into me
Tell me it’s true
Don’t let me be the fool
Who believed in “me and you”

[Bridge]
In a place where time stands still
Hearts can mend and dreams can fill
I’ve seen stars align before
Maybe love will open the door
To a place…
To a place called Always

[Final Chorus]
'Cause I can't go on
There’s no tomorrow
If I’m alone
Still breathing through the sorrow
So breathe into me
Whisper it’s true
Don’t let me be the fool
Who still believes in “me and you”

[Outro]
No, I don’t want to pretend
But I can’t let this end
So tell me it’s true
Say I’m not dreaming...
There’s a me and you...
There’s a me and you...
Gotta be… in a place called Always

Love this Dave, especially the chorus, I guess that's where the expression Dream it into life comes from. Also they say talk it into reality, so with a vision and plenty of advertising mostly anything can come true...we make our own future. Well done!

No Man, you're not crazy. Go out into the night and look up into the vision of the reality that was once a mere dream of the celestial soup: it...us...we...I&I...and there's...all. A great write. Really enjoyed it. Peace and Love, Millard Lowe.

Falling in love over and over again is a hazardous thing. I put a stop to it years and years ago. No regrets. Many thanks for stopping by to read so many of poems, LM. Best to you. / M

Your golden pen gifts us so much, with the lyrical verses it births.. This sends me back to the days of my youth and the depths of the feelings I had each time I fell in love....Takes great heart and great poetry to accomplish that my very talented friend! A fav..

Soup is whatever you make it to be L.M. (while reality, well that's sitting behind a computer ) fantasy? its what we create when we put word to emotion and desire. its easy to blur the lines when we hunger for human contact. Thanks for the read, and the foot note

Well I've heard it said that fantasies can become reality, and with lovely words like these, who knows? Great lyrics, have they been set to music yet? ...Maria :)

A world of magic, beauty! A world of fulfillment! A realm that sets you free to dream, though words chained sometimes! I think if words are always set free, we are unveiled and the beauty of mystery is dissolved! You are blessed with the voice of poetry, a singer of your own lyrics! A great joy to read your beauty! A FAV. Stay safe and blessed always.

Maybe she will succeed in the assignment and convince you of the genuineness of the relationship or she will fall flat and reveal all is fantasy. Time will tell. Kudos for a wonderful job here my LM...love and hugs.

Now if I get this correctly from what Jan commented, this is not a dream come true but a nightmare!! Anyway, you got a great poem out of it!!
