I'll See You In My Dreams

When I awaken from peaceful slumber,
I am reminded that you are no longer.
Just a figment of my imagination,
Conjured up for my salvation.

But in that time of twilight rest
Thoughts of you that were suppressed
Will suddenly appear;
It's almost as if you are here.

When the day breaks, I go through the motions,
Of everyday life, suffering with so many emotions.
Sweet memories of you, even your flaws -
You're all that I am; all I ever was.

But then you appear as the night falls,
And you tear down the walls
Within my dreamy visions
Put in place from my collisions.

Like a new love that just began,
I'll feel what it's like, once again,
To be loved the way I should
As only you could.
