SADNESS FILLS THE DAY

Realizing you were nothing
You were only a fantasy
Letting go of the hope
Sinking ever deeper inside

Knowing now the love
I had to hide
You could never know
Pain I felt
You never understood
How you made me melt

Never knowing what could have been
Sadness fills the day
As I now let it slip away
Cherished still this dream is

No longer a fantasy
No longer can I hope for someday
That we would explore so much more
That your heart wouldn't stray

Letting in the new
Seeking the fresh
Not holding on to this old desire
Too much has to be suppressed

Someone else will see
A beauty that is all & complete
Others have tried but I held back
Holding onto the fantasy
That you would one day see
A reality that was the real me

Hope was there but now is gone
Dreaming so often of that day
Yet that would never be
All that we would of shared someday
Not just a dream, now it is time for reality
