Dream of Love

You were only a dream of
Undying love
Something that could have been
But never was
You went away
And left me to dream alone
You briefly touched my troubled soul
And caused my dormant heart to stir within
But you were only a dream
A fleeting vision
A butterfly with broken wings
You left too soon
Or I woke too quickly
Now you are only a memory of
Unrequited love
Too ethereal to be real
Too painful to be an illusion
My love for you is like looking in a mirror
That casts no reflection
My dream of holding you is like swimming in air
Nothing really there to hold me up
I can only fall and crash
You were only a dream of
Eternal love
And I woke too soon.
