Close your eyes and imagine us together
The way we’ve always wanted
But it could never be

Ignore your stresses, troubles, and picture me
Wrapped tight in your arms
A fading memory

Foolishly hopeful prospects of what can’t be
Are the ready cure to the pain
And truth of reality

We try
We wait
Hopeless yet hopeful
For an impossible date

We yearn
We cry
So far yet so close
Our bodies lie

Despite the odds
Despite the miles
The tales of what must but of what can’t
Are sweet lullabies

So darling, shut your eyes
Close them tight
Do not let your fears
Taint the sweet song
Of together
