Still In My Dreams

Lyrics of an ongoing theme I can't seem to shake (right now)

I saw you the other night in my bed

You smiled at me after we made love and we laughed and sang again

As sweet as the time before that still echoes in my head*

Then I awoke to lonliness once more, instead

~~~

But I still smiled, as the dream came back to me

Came back to me like you never will in reality

The good times that we shared will be their own legacy

For time to time you're here, still, in my dreams

~~~

You never dream, or if you do you don't remember

As life moved on your passion for me became a burnt out ember

Yet I'm grateful for the time you shared with me

Each moment is a cherished memory

~~~

And I smile , as the dream comes back to me

Comes back to me like you never will in reality

For the feelings we once shared are their own legacy

And from time to time you're with me in my dreams

~

Yes I smile, as the dream comes back to me

Comes back to me like you never will in reality

And I don't regret or won't forget the cherished legacy

Because from time to time ... you're here ... still in my dreams

 

*( are echoes not more indicative of an empty head?)

This was just so beautiful. Memories cherished. It really is a wonderful thing to remember those memories without regrets and be able to think/dream about them with fondness every now and then, even though there may be a touch of sadness. Bittersweet feeling. Excellent piece of writing...It flowed flawlessly....

You're left with smiles, memories and feelings that no man can take away from you. Bearing in mind it took the two of you to make all of these together, so that in itself is so very special. Some folks are never allowed to even experience this...you were chosen. The pain is no good...so don't allow it in (if possible) to taint your wonderful memory. A beautiful, passionate write. Thanks for sharing with me.

What a beautiful piece of missing someone so very much. It is hard once you feel that love to get it out of your head and dreams. Excellent piece.
