Perfection Ebbed Away

LostLove
|
I dreampt of you last night
a sweeter dream than I thought I could ever have
But that dream wasn't expected or wished for
and suddenly I was reminded
of the way you had forgotten me
But I'd rather be forgotten
than be a soul you pretend to love
who exists in a world that you no longer love
As paths now cross, your smile sometimes shows
but that smile doesn't know the soul it meets
My soul is merely recognized, not fully remembered
Part of a true world, and not just a game for happiness
Now, you remember only how to smile
and I remember only your smile
I fear to remember something more,
of what I once felt under your voice
I fear to remember the beauty that's forgotten me
the beauty that has ebbed away
what was once so unbelievable, so uncanny,
has now become unreal and untangible
I'll try to forget
that such a perfect known soul once knew me
I'll try to not recognize
the smile or voice or laugh
because the memories once so valuable and hopeful
have now become useless
Remembering lost joy brings only regret
Then tomorrow, or the day after
I'll see the smile that may smile at me
and the girl that has forgotten who I am
I'll recognize the surface of the most beautiful eyes
I'll hear the voice that I've painfully tried to forget
Don't recognize me again; don't smile again.
Don't remind me of the best moments of my life
or the perfect girl I once knew
What is the alternative?
How do we get back?
maybe I'll call one day
and you'll remember and want to know me
we might talk or I'll read you my thoughts
and if I'm lucky, you'll smile at me
You'll remember me and long to know me
the way I once longed for you
I don't want to be vaguely
remembered or merely recognized...
Wanting a recollection to become reality again
Perfection has ebbed away
Know me or forget forever
