Swept Off into a Dream

She swore they’d always be friends,
Then again that’s how friendships end,
He couldn’t be more than what he wanted to be,
She had his heart and held the key,
But that’s what happens when one falls for another,
When the emotions run deep one discovers,
The stars weren’t aligned,
Now they’re left far behind
And the light that once gleamed,
Got swept off into a dream.

And so they went their separate ways,
Bonded by memories of golden days,
But the feeling feels like a nostalgic ember,
It’s fantastic just to remember,
That the thing could have been,
Lingers on somewhere within,
Yet the stars weren’t aligned,
Now they’re left far behind,
And the light that once gleamed,
Got swept off into a dream.

Then he heard she felt the same way,
But by then it was too late,
And yet it seems like it was a fantasy,
To have been able to love and foresee,
Lost at sea under a rainbow,
To know the truth and still let go,
But the stars aren’t aligned,
They’re not too far behind,
And the light that once gleamed,
Has been swept off…
