Running

towards you?

In my dreams, I’m running towards you

You’re just inches from my grasp

And as I almost reach you

I fall down, I collapse

In my dreams, I’m running towards you

I am always just so close

To being in your arms

To love

To have

To hold

In my dreams, I’m running towards you

But as I start to wake

The lines begin to blur

Between what’s real and what’s fake

In my dreams, I’m running towards you

Only to learn the truth

I am not the one running

This whole time

It was you

In my dreams, I’m running towards you

The truth - it’s in my bones

Even when I had you

I was always still

Alone
