An Illusion

Reflections in the water

Fade and disappear

Illusions that mine eyes can see

But cannot touch nor hear.

And now I come to ask myself

Are you really real?

If I reach out to take your hand

Will it be your hand I feel?

You might be an illusion

My eyes might be decieving me

You could be someone that I made up

A wish, a dream, a fantasy.

Questions like these just make doubt stronger

Creating a kind of inner hunger

In quiet solitude I ponder

Leaving my mind to search and wander.

If life is so much like a dream

And things aren't always what they seem

Then let me walk this road with you

Until our wakening is due.

A toast to you...

Don't you just hate it when you find the one
And she smiles and laughs, then turns and runs
I replay it in my head, and it makes me blue
But its her favorite past time, so cheers to you

You were picture perfect, a heavenly dove
If given the chance it might have been love
You would've been my baby, my boo
But you thought that was silly, so cheers to you

Thank you for the times we almost had
I lived them in my dreams so don't feel bad
It would have been nice, if you were there too
but you had other plans, so cheers to you

I followed you, like I was in a trance
Was it too much to ask to be given a chance
I didn't want much, just to be with you
but you said no, so cheers to you

It hurts so much, yet my eyes are dry
Cause I haven't even tears enough to cry
But you'll get by, you always do
with a smile on your face, so cheers to you

I dreamt one night of our very first kiss
It was a special feeling, that will be missed
I like you so much if you only knew
But you never cared, so cheers to you

It hurts inside that we can't be together
Cause I truly could've held you in my arms forever
I will love you my dear, to the day my life is through
But for you it means nothing, so cheers to you

I fought so hard but never could see
That all I would find, is what could never be
Love's never enough, this much is true
You broke my heart, so cheers to you.

If...

If I could turn and walk away,
And start all over again..
I can forget I ever knew you,
I could live in a world of pretend.

But everytime I open my eyes,
It's back to reality.
Things I've tried to forget,
Are back again with me.

I could go through life,
Never saying your name.
I could live each day..
Looking for a place to lay the blame.

I could feel bitter,
For the way things turned out.
But I choose not to be,
That's not what I'm about.

I could forever long for you,
And this I'll probably do.
If only I could've touched your face..
At least one dream would've come true.

I could say I hate you,
But it would be a lie.
I could wish I'd never met you,
So I'd never had a sad goodbye.

But no matter the tears,
The aches I felt inside,
I still can't regret knowing you,
My feelings I've never denied.

I chose to remember you,
The way you were with me.
Things you said and felt..
I hold in loving memory.

Even though it was a heartache,
Only waiting to begin,
What I experienced with you...
Was the best place I've ever been.
