Dream

I had a dream
We were so much happier than we ever were
You were holding my hand just the same
And we were dancing which we never did
You were looking at me so ever intently like you always did
And I was feeling so secure in your arms like I never did
The comfort
There wasn't any sorrow between you and I
No shadows loomed 
No darkness crept
Everything felt so right as it always did between you and I 
And you were better than you ever were
And I could see a path for us
We paraded the streets you and I
Hand in hand we did 
And it made sense
Seemed like I had forgiven you for all the pain
But I questioned
How unlikely it was for me to walk the same road as you 
I am sure I don't love you anymore
You don't mean as much as you did
I don't feel as lost without you now
Sure you had filled my universe before
Gave my life meaning and purpose
But I figured I could live without you 
And I suppose that was the life lesson
