Dreams To Die For
Dreams To Die For
I dream of nights when I could dream without drinking,
And sleep without thinking.
When the cries and pain weren't a part of my heap
And the lullaby was enough to make me sleep.
I remember the sunny Sundays,
And my happy childhood ways.
I remember the way to Grandma's place
And I dream of going back, just like old days.
I dream of people who felt something,
And of words that meant everything
Of days when my soul shone so bright,
That it played with the sun's light.
I remember when we used pencils to write,
And could rub off anything that could backbite
But with pen in my hand tonight
I fear if I'll churn something all right.
I dream of getting rid of photos hidden in the bottom rack,
And of sending letters written long back.
I promise to no longer wait for replies that were forever awaited
And i hope the place in my heart for them will now be vacated.
I remember people from my past
And I think of fixing forevers that didn't last
But now when I know that future for us has an uneven forecast
I wish i live today with a blast.
I dream of a moment when time stops by
And we can't help but look without the blink of an eye
I hope we see a future that kept promises afloat
That took us and our forever in the same boat.
I remember the summer that lasted forever
And the winter that kept us under the same feather
But now what'll keep us standing will not be some weather
Because now I know, we are in this together.
I dream of a day I am so alive
That even if death visits
I tell her, "I'll survive."
