if it was a dream,

let me remember her

and the way we were

before i wake,

before reality sets in.

I can feel the ache in my chest,

my heart feels heavy.

it all felt so real.

to have a fate so cruel,

to never have known love,

always guarding your heart

to never let anyone in.

For a life without love

my heart feels empty.

so i beg

let me keep that safe,

that feeling.

just let me keep that memory of her,

just that one,

before i wake from this hopeless dream

before this fades,

before i forget

her love.

– maybe i was never meant to fall in love.//t.c
