Your embrace is now a
Distant memory
The smell of your neck
The feel of your touch
As you stroked my hair
And whispered your poetry in my ear

We were young and lovely dreamers
Before the world lashed our backs
The memory of your voice
Is like a warm pool
I save in a corner of my mind

I pray for your happiness
When memories of you trickle across my thoughts
I often wonder if all the wishes
We made on all those summer nights
We lay under the stars
Somehow came true for you
I pray they did

You were my best friend
Child lovers, we found each other
In a world full of cotton candy kisses
And laughter that floated to the heavens
Like kaleidoscope bubbles

We were young and lovely dreamers
Before the world lashed our backs
We thought we could conquer it all
With our innocent dreams
We were sure we could do anything
With our untainted schemes
We knew tomorrow was too big to promise
Now all we share is yesterday, and a few broken dreams

You were a young and lovely dreamer
'til you gave up the game
you gave it all up
and 'bravely' waited for the train
You tried to solve the mysteries
before you had all the clues
You could never turn back
But I'll always remember you
