I was told to write down my dreams

but I can't think of enough words to describe

the feeling of your chest rising and falling as I fell asleep

or the clear blue of your eyes, like ocean waves on a cloudy day

I remember walking hand in hand along the beach

on a day just like that

thinking it was us against the world forever

But then it hit me that you were my galaxy

but to you I was just another star

It dawned on me like the blazing sunlight relecting off the water

on mornings that I would wake up in your arms

You were a daydream and I was a nightmare

We were supposed to fit perfectly together

like pieces of a puzzle,

but I was the wrong shape for you

You were a beautiful nightmare

And I was told not to give up on my dreams,

but darling,

I have to give up on you.
