Every high
Every low
I’ve mourned each death 
Along for the whole ride
As if I knew you
As if you knew me

I see you in my dreams
And in myself

Travel in time
Unearthly beings
Denying the possible 
But it’s all real to me
Real friends 
Real problems 
Real goodbyes
Last episode 
Last chapter 
It’s been a good run
Maybe I’ll see you again 
But it won’t be the same

Because it’s not my life 
Not my friends 
Not my feelings

You’ve lived every life
I can only live mine

If only I was fictional 
Where the happily ever after was mine as well
Where you would know me just as I knew you
Where I wouldn’t have to say goodbye 
Where I wasn’t scared of the end credits
Or the last page
