REPLACE
I had a dream about you just the other night.
It was so great up until the very end.
We were laughing with one another and having a great time.
It felt like we were something closer than just friends.
The way you looked at me was so nice,
And it felt real when you held my hand.
Somehow I knew it just couldn't be true,
Because in real life you just don't understand.
Right before I woke up from this dream,
You stood to leave me alone.
I begged and pleaded with you not to go,
But in a matter of seconds you were gone.
I woke up in tears that streamed down my face,
And I realized it was this obvious and true.
I look around expecting you to see and hold me,
But there was no one just me in my room.
My head started to spin in circles,
And my heart was ready to break.
It was at that moment in time,
I knew just how it felt to ache.
So for the rest of the night,
I laid in my bed and looked at the stars.
I wondered just exactly how you'd feel if you knew,
And if you were in you girlfriend's arms.
That hurts more than anything that I can think of,
Because I know it isn't me you hold and embrace.
I just wish you'd realize what you have before its gone
Because losing someone is a hard thing to replace.
