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.
