I Am Your Forgotten Dream
We met at a different time
We fell in love deeply
But time wasn’t on our side
Personal matters accrued
Parting with promises made
Sealed with a passionate kiss
That left me breathless
Yearning for your tenderness of touch
You became my reason to live for
I longed for the time to be reunited
I counted down the many days and nights
Until you come home into my arms forever
I dreamt of us in splashing joy
I giggled at times when dreaming of fun things
That we will be doing together in time
I entrusted my life on promises made by love
The date we set to be reunited has come
Oh how I’ve waited too long
My darling I cannot wait any minute longer
Excitedly I set out and waited for you
There I sat in the garden
Under the pale moonlight
My heart’s beating emotions of joy
Until I was kissed by the morning sunrise
Scampering mind with confusion
Delicate flowers greeted me calmly
Gathering my thoughts orderly
I found no prints of you around
You never showed up
Your kiss and promises were all empty
Where I burned and trusted you heartily
Now this pain I feel is breathlessly choking me
I can feel the light in my soul slowly fade away
I am no longer living
I am your forgotten dream
Kissed by false promises
