I take you by the hand and run off into the unknown grand future we have planned
I do it with a big smile on my face with my eyes shinning
you are the happiest I've seen you
yet you yank back on my wrist and I wonder why you stop running
running toward the worry free unknown that we have waiting on us
your shinning eyes then show they are covering an emotion
sadness, heart ache, guilt
"what's wrong?"
"baby girl, you know what's wrong."
"no I don't see anything wrong. just tell me! don't you want to discover the unknown and run away together?"
"baby you know there is nothing id rather do. but you know I can't."
i begin to think about what is being said
that's when our surroundings are no longer a cheerful mood, it's cold and bare.
"this isn't real is it?"
"no love"
"you aren't really here are you?"
"no"
"do you still love me?"
"more and more with every second"
"will you be there when I wake up?"
"baby, I wish I could be. but you already know I can't"
I then realize the tears hot running down my face
"why'd you leave me? you said you never would!"
"baby, listen to me. live your life don't waste your time crying on me. I want you to live and to see the world and leave a mark of us every where you go"
"I miss you so much. why can't I just stay here with you?"
"love, you belong to the world not your dreams. you need to wake up and continue on. I love you, remember that okay? I love you so god damn much."
"I don't want to wake up."
you lean down and cup my face.
"please stay alive and live for our love"
your lips press against mine and I break all over on the inside but the way your tongue is moving with mine is patching up every broken piece inside.
I wrap my arms around you and go to open my eyes like I used to, to see you all wrapped up in our love and in the moment.
I open my eyes and you aren't there.
you never where.
I open my eyes from the worst and best dream I've ever had.
I open my eyes and a tear slides down my cheek.
I open my eyes and pray for the nights that were haunted my insomnia.
I open my eyes and still feel you'll lips on mine.
I open my eyes because you always opened mine up to the world and possibilities
I will always love you, even after you're long gone
