Emptiness

I sit beside you
Your hand in mine
I looked into your eyes
You stared into mine.

Now were together
Like two peas in a pod
I'm with you
And you're with me...

Side by side we wandered through the night
We hugged, we kissed like lovers do
Echoing the vows we've made...
Forever we'll stay together
And together we are one.

Sunrise came I awoke to find you're gone
I realized then you were only
In my dreams...
Only in my dreams...

Oh, how can this be?
When you were so real?
So I lie awake and await
For darkness to engulf me once more
Then I can be in your arms again...
