So Let Me Dream of You

One more day, a few hours more

Ten more minutes if you must
Let me have it
Allow me to relish

If only for that smile
And that lingering look
Eyes which has stories to tell
I'd run away with you

But if this is all that we'll ever have
Then let me dream of you
So tomorrow won't be so bleak
Just let me dream of you
If that's how I can make you stay
Whatever this is, let me have it
And maybe then, I'll be fine

Make the clock stop ticking and the world just freeze
Let me bask in this moment
When you and me can make believe
That being here is all that really matters

If this is all that it is
Then I'd have to memorize
Every detail, every memory
Enough to last me my life

Grant me another moment
Let me see your face
Comfort me in my solace
Let me listen to you too
Missing you chokes me up
And only dreaming can keep me sane

But if this is all that we'll ever have
Then let me dream of you
So tomorrow won't be so bleak
Just let me dream of you
If that's how I can make you stay
Whatever this is, let me have it
And maybe then, I'll be fine

In this lifetime, I may have written so much. Too much, at times. However, my greatest masterpiece, I would have to say, was writing lyrics and creating a song out of the words that I put together with the help of a very good friend. Looking back, that song was my catalyst for change and renewed faith. It healed me and brought me back to reality after wasted years of desperation and sheer self-destruction. 

I'm not good at writing poems, but once in a while, I try to make one. However, I intend to create a song out of this one. Maybe turning it into something worth listening to might do me justice when everything seems to be too much for me to bear. Or better yet, I hope it can somehow ease this pain in my heart, one way or another.

Because there are just days, days like these, when feeling so much and not being able to do anything about it is more like being diagnosed with a terminal illness. You know it exists and fighting it only proves to be futile. For the thing is, it's never going to go away nor are things going to get better in time. And all you can really do is just accept it.

Live with the pain and misery. And find joy in dreaming.
