Every night I close my eyes,

I tell myself you are no longer mine.

Drifting into my dream,

Here again, your face is seen.

My heart beats in delight,

To see the innocent youthful smile I held tight.

Holding hands, making plans,

Choosing the wedding song and bands.

Seeing you under the veil,

Realising it was an ancient tale.

A teardrop crawls,

My heart aches, a feeling has to be withdrawn.

So I can live another day in lies,

Lying to myself, you are significant no more.

Every night I close my eyes,

I remind myself you will never be mine.
