The Evanescent You

I cannot see your star
No matter how much I wish upon it
And my fears, as childish as they may be,
Slowly turn into that which resembles rage

Where has my heart gone?
If only I could go back to believing
But I still remember...
The warmth of the days I spent by Your side

As we laid in that silent bliss
We knew we would remember forever
Now, I pray that these memories will remain
So I don't fear loneliness, I'm not alone
I will always have you by me, love

But I know this is a dream
It must be, no, it has to be a dream
Because it will never be what I think it is
It will always remain a dream
Never real life

What I need is a reason to believe this is not real
Because I know they're all wrong
For I can see your face in the faces of others
For I can hear your voice in the crowd
Whispering, singing, and I can't love you
Any more than I already do

Although I try so hard not to think of you
I still do; when I sleep, I can see you
When I look in the mirror, I see your face
You take my hand and kiss me
Does that mean you love me?
Does it mean you're taking over me?

And I run to you, calling your name
But every time I do, I see you so far from me
There is a deep and vast ocean between us
So I try to forget you, but without you I feel nothing
And I'm drawn to you yet again

The cycle repeats itself
I try to reach you, but I cut myself
I shatter into so many little pieces
Then I wish to breathe no more
Because I wonder, which do you love:
Myself or my reflection?

So I breathe my last, and you hold me fast
In your arms, you ask me if I can feel you
If I can hear you
And you say you know I can hear you
Because of the sorrowful taste of my tears

In the end, we say goodbye
"Don't be afraid" you tell me one last time
Slowly you fade into the ocean of darkness
But I can still hear you calling me
Calling me
Calling me...
