I dreamt of you two nights in a row

the first one, I thought to dismiss

but the last one, I can not forget

 

(it is the one in which I let you go)

 

In the dream, I held on

until your very last finger slipped through my hand,

you were not even facing me anymore

and I know that’s the way it should be

when you’re letting go,

when you’re moving on

(I just hoped against hope, you know?

 

but that’s not really what I wanted to tell you)

 

I wanted to extend my hand

in giving you my best

to all you have before you

 

That is what I’ve always wanted

that’s what love wants, they say

 

This is a day

too hard to take,

so I won’t take it

I will leave it

where it is.

It was just a dream.

(It was just a dream)
