And what was.
I think of the future,
And what will be.
And what will never be.
You and me.
Never together.
In one room.
One room.
One love.
It will never be.
At first, I did not love you,
But then I started to think,
And I grew more fond of you.
But the day I dream of will never come true.
I think of death,
And how it is inevitable.
I think of how it may soon grasp you in its vicious jaws.
And I depress myself.
“Do not think of that,” I tell myself.
But nevertheless, the thoughts come,
And I cry.
Then I remember how you and I will never be.
That our love is just a fantasy.
And nothing more.
Wake me up, Reality!
When will I return to you?
I know I must return to it soon,
But it is so far away from my dreams.
I do not want to return to the cruel Reality.
I want to stay asleep.
And dream forever.
Maybe I will.
My love.
One love.
One room.
Never together.
Never.
I will dream instead. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 200 [topic] => 14 [informant] => Cupid [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DreamsandWishes )

Dream Instead

I think of the past,
And what was.
I think of the future,
And what will be.
And what will never be.
You and me.
Never together.
In one room.
One room.
One love.
It will never be.
At first, I did not love you,
But then I started to think,
And I grew more fond of you.
But the day I dream of will never come true.
I think of death,
And how it is inevitable.
I think of how it may soon grasp you in its vicious jaws.
And I depress myself.
“Do not think of that,” I tell myself.
But nevertheless, the thoughts come,
And I cry.
Then I remember how you and I will never be.
That our love is just a fantasy.
And nothing more.
Wake me up, Reality!
When will I return to you?
I know I must return to it soon,
But it is so far away from my dreams.
I do not want to return to the cruel Reality.
I want to stay asleep.
And dream forever.
Maybe I will.
My love.
One love.
One room.
Never together.
Never.
I will dream instead.

Some times that's just how it is but fantasy is kindda fun.
This is sad but written very well.
Hang tuff.
