Engleski: Hopeless dream

Take me back to the time,
when everything was fine.
When I was on cloud nine,
before we crossed the line.
Before obvious signs,
before we cut all ties.
Before all of the lies,
more like broken promises.
Empty promises,
lost in time.
The love has faded,
and the eyes lost their shine.
We had a vision, but now it's gone,
I guess "forever" is not for everyone.
Do you remember the time
only we knew about?
When we inhaled the thyme,
watched the stunning view from a far.
When we were careless and young,
yelled from the top of our lungs.
When we chased the morning sun,
wandered like kids on the playground.
We were just stubborn teens,
living our crazy dreams.
Running through the field,
feeling free and wild.
Things were way prettier
when I was just a child.
When you said "I love you"
out of the blue.
Does it sound familiar,
deja vu?
Our souls intertwined,
our minds combined.
Caught in the thought of that,
so will you bring me back?
Back to the night,
when we met in the park.
Playing hide and seek,
and hiding in the dark.
I climbed up to the roof,
to run from your eyes,
but you chased after me
and caught me in your arms.
Then I've placed my hand on my throbbing heart,
that was pounding fast,
wanting to get out.
It was kicking hard, beating like drums,
while I blocked his way out,
keeping it in my bosoms.
You heard my heart racing and grabbed me by my wrists,
making me freeze, stopping it from jumping out of my chest...
And when our eyes met
It felt like no one else exists,
like we're the only ones left.
Us and inches in between us
that are keeping us apart,
just seconds before you'll
kiss me in the dark.
Merging our lips in one,
pressing yours against mine.
At that moment I saw
the sparks burst and fly,
colliding like commets,
that are falling from the sky.
If someone said they could turn back the time,
would you still look at me with that loving smile?
Would I still see the light in your eyes?
Would I still feel your lips on mine?
I guess I'll never know, cause there's no going back to how we used to be.
Just look at what we did to us,
we ripped apart so easily.
We're hiding behind closed doors,
saying nothing more than what we need.
Waiting for the new day to come,
just to see how it repeats.
We're damaged, but can we be fixed,
can we repair, change for the better?
We're broken, but when people ask, we always say, "We're happy together."
Cause when the curtain drops,
and our masks come off,
when the doors close,
this is who we are.
This is the real you, and this is the real me.
We talk about forever,
but we destroy each other mercilessly.
Used to dream about forever more and eternal love,
still, we managed to crash it like a house of cards.
I woke up from that dream,
we were dreaming about,
and then I realized something
"I guess this is us."
So now I'm trying to understand how we even got here.
I don't know why am I staying,
but I don't want to leave.
I don't want to accept that there is nothing left.
I don't want to assume that this is the end.
I want to believe we can love again, but...
Two people need to decide,
will their love live, or will it die.
We can't undo what has been said and done, we can't erase it, make it "be gone"...
But we can let it go, make our memories go up in smoke, and just burn them down.
We played with fire and we got burnt,
while those memories turned to dirt.
I tried taming the storm,
even though I have been warned.
I chased a lightning that struck me when I caught her, bringing the thunder right after.
Creating a hurricane that leaves traces of dust behind,
like a burning fire that turns to ashes on the ground.
We burned too many matches,
turned ourselves into those ashes.
Took so many chances,
just to throw it all away.
The moonlight became pale,
the moon has stopped shining,
it is no longer blinding.
Everything felt like fairytale,
but now the stars are hiding.
That love was pure, clear like water,
now it's out of control, full of dark colors.
It looks shallow and broke,
without a trail of hope.
Hope to bloom again
and not go down the drain.
Hope to rise from its fall,
and destroy our walls.
Now I stare at the rain as it pours down my windows,
observe how the drops wash out while my tears flow...
They run down my cheeks like a silent river,
flow like the ocean from my face to my pillow...
As I see you go, in the reflection of my mirror,
walking out of this discussion, like it's not a big deal, no.
No, you are not the guy that i fell in love with,
you've changed too much, without a doubt.
In between us, there's nothing else but empty sheets,
so did the flame finally burn out?
You're still with me, just not the same,
where are your feelings? Who's to blame?
When did you lose your emotions and become so cruel?
I don't recognize you anymore, so tell me, who are you?
We stare at the ceiling in silence,
side by side, close but yet so far.
In between us we're keeping distance,
sitting quiet in this parked car.
We barely even talk to each other,
we don't even fight anymore.
We don't listen to one another
and we don't laugh, not anymore.
We're left with cold-blooded love that is tearing us apart,
breaking us and creating ice out of our souls and hearts.
I wish that loving someone is easy,
that love is simple and loving, not hard.
I wish that my hopeful dream had come true,
but we can't always get what we want.
I thought we dreamed the same dream,
I guess not.
Maybe this is the reality and that dream... just my thought.
