I gaze into the horizon in hope to find the glimpse of a memory which once was real
I stare at the moon knowing it shines on your eyes, wishing I could see them as well
And in that moment, my feelings roll down from my eyes
And my heart aches from missing your head laying on my chest
It was just a dream, but I lived as if meant forever
