Tread Softly
Tread softly on my feelings
and I'll tread softly too.
For we only have those dreams
that we know will not come true.
The ones of love we can't resist,
that touch our heart and soul.
The ones that linger and persist
to tempt our self-control.
Yet we know our love will never be,
not in this lifetime dear.
We know as well that we're not free,
the path for us is clear.
We must go our separate ways,
and the memories we will keep
are the what if dreams and might-have-beens
that realities put to sleep.
And though our silent thoughts may fantasize
of romantic bliss and more.
As love may come to mesmerize
those dreams we must ignore.
So, tread softly on my feelings
for soon we must let go
and the only memories we will keep
are the dreams we'll never know.
