Dreams

Dreams, dreams, where have you gone?
I remember imagining
With you I had so much fun
We would play all day
The hours never ended
But lately you've been gone
Oh dreams
I've missed you so
My mind was sick with worry
I can't say that you've let me go
This cruel world is too much
I can't be growing out of you
I long to be little again Dreams
Then we could be free again
There is no way for us now
We cannot be seen together
We could pretend in the darkness
But then my mind is ravaged
There is no place for you now
Can't you see?
This is not my choice
Not my will, nor yours
But you must go now dreams
I will see you in my sleep
But then even after so long
I wish I could have more
But life is only so short
And being young for too long will kill
So I'll conform to this hateful world
Give up my childishness
Dreams, I'm sorry this is not my fault
The knife I hold with your blood
It was given to me by the world
I want you to stay, live with me
But don't you understand
I'm older now
The conformities of earth, they prohibit us together
I can see you no longer
But dreams, you do understand don't you?
You know this could never be,
So please don't ever speak
I'll miss you inside
But outside
I will never be freely be me
