Sweet Dreams
Only fools dream of that which they may never posses.
Only fools ignore the hurt, the pain, the truth.
I loved all that you were helplessly and completely.
Your very presence enveloped me.
But it wasn'y my fault--it was yours.
So easily you won me over, just by being you.
You knocked me down, stood me up, ignored me and said hello.
You sentenced me to the death I died a thousand times.
But it wasn't your fault--it was mine.
So easily I fell for you, being so naive and ignorant.
I never gave up on you.
I was a fool.
Only fools dream of the which they may never possess.
I dreamed of you.
It was the sweetest of all my dreams.
