Do you live each day waiting to fall asleep?
Because only in dreams is your happiness found?
And when you awaken to reality does it make you weep,
As if only your heart’s anguish is expound?

Do the few good things in life remind you of me?
When they cross your mind do you bewilderedly smile?
As you relive these moments do you feel free?
Does their ending leave you feeling empty for a while?

Do you ever wish you could return to that special day?
Does its perfection harmonize your life?
When you scramble to reclaim this past in every way,
Do your failures slice through your soul like a knife?

Do you gaze into the sky wishing for what you’ve lost?
Do all your prayers never seem to suffice?
When untruthful fortune cookies leave your heart in a frost,
Do you call for my embrace to melt the ice?

Because I do…I do all of the above.
Only time spent with you is time that I love.

Would you sacrifice your hopes and ambitions just to hold me again?
Would you change anything to give birth to my peace?
Would you follow me and my dreams as I chase this Zen?
Would you feel dead inside if my life were to cease?

Would you care if I was hurt?
Would you run to my aid?
When nature’s feet kick upon me dirt,
Would you hold my hand and be my brigade?

Because I would for you… I would do all of the above.
My life is meaningless without my one true love.

Could you live in satisfaction if my presence was never there?
Could you wake up in the morning feeling complete?
When you focus all your emotions into a prayer,
Could you truly sew what you reap?

Could you pass five minutes without longing for me?
Could you ignore the signs that make you reminisce?
Could you forget all the happiness and instead flee?
Could you plug the holes with someone else’s kiss?

Because I can’t… I can’t do any of the above.
My life is bliss when you smile from my love.

Are you fighting a war no one believes you can win?
Are you struggling just to be remembered?
When all you seek is to walk where you have once been,
Are you given hopes that are continually plundered?

Are your realities ominous of you being forgotten?
Are you afraid your star has dimmed in that someone’s eye?
Are you seeing the sweet fruits of the past finally turn rotten?
Are you so in love you would die before saying goodbye?

Because I am… I am all of the above.
My only dream is to reclaim your love.
