Dreams Last
“Dreams last
so long
even after you’re gone”
these tears shouldn’t still be falling
I shouldn’t still be calling
your name in my mind
every night before I find
respite in sleep from
thoughts of you and I feel numb
as I walk to school
as I feel like a fool
I must have been a tool
and yet when she asks me
I don’t know what answer
to give this she
who is between us
and yet who must
keep us together
and I’ve never
felt this amount of wrong
for so long
because of some little boy
who could be just a toy
if I didn’t remember the love I felt
so much
so much
and how I melt
so much
so much
in his arms
and the welt
he left on my mind
when it was my turn to find
that everything wasn’t fine
and that he wasn’t
really
mine.
for you are constantly playing
a game of capture the flag
because, with out lagging
you go from macho teenager
to suave romantic
to a meager
child
in a matter of moments
and these torments
are too much for me
but
“I go about my business
I’m doing fine
besides what would I say if I had you on the line
same old story, not
much to say
hearts are broken every day”
hearts are broken every day
but this may
be the worst
I’ve been hurt
but that doesn’t keep
me from weeping
over what could have been.
because
“Dreams last
so long
even after you’re gone
and I know
that you love me
and soon you will see
you were meant for me
and I was meant for you.”
