dream of you

I had a dream about you last night
At first I took it as a sign
Some things are better left alone
So I told myself it's fine

Our time was short and sweet and simple
Uncomplicated by the past
Exchanging words in points of quiet
Unaware of who’d talk last
We gelled quickly and in seconds
I thought that I'd known you for years
You'd think we’d have lasted longer
But I wouldn't shed a tear

I had a dream about you last night
Your figure warm and far away
I had a dream about you last night
Eyes shut hoping you'd stay

But I think fondly of our time
Exchanging laughs and songs alike
You were the sugar to my sour
A sheer joy so childlike
And now I see from a distance
I watch you flourish from afar
Sending thoughts and all well wishes
Writing this song on my guitar

I had a dream about you last night
Your figure warm and far away
I had a dream about you last night
Eyes shut hoping you'd stay

And I still think about you sometimes
Pondering what it could've been
But I would never trade the time we had
For all of that was a win

I had a dream about you last night
And you said your last goodbye
I woke up to wipe my tears
Although I said I'd never cry
