Footsteps
I often close my eyes in hopes of it all being just a dream
Slowly I drift into my imagination and pretend all is well
I paint the sky a perfect blue, the stars a warm glow as the sun begins to set
I see me laying next to you beneath that once perfect moon
I open my eyes back unto what is real, to life
I realize everyday, today you are someone's wife
Our beautiful tomorrow shall never be
Yet i can help but let my heart wonder free
I trace back on my days, so many mistakes were made
I could never take them back, as time passes but never rewinds
Our time together was bittersweet
For we loved so much, and knew so little
If only we knew then what we know now
I would have never let my doubts imprison you
My fear of loosing you only took you from me sooner
But the memories live on within my soul
Holding hands, warm hugs and even missing each other so much it hurt
It felt then like a fairy tale and we waited for the happily ever after
I recall the butterflies in my tummy
The sweaty hands and rapid heart beat when we first dated
I should have never pretended to be what I wasn't
For you loved i was and nothing else
Oh dreamy artist, isn't the canvas still half empty
Let us then be alive in the paint, for each brush stroke is us
Time shall pass, we will always be but a memory
A short story of love
Perhaps in another life we can be
Until then, farewell
