He waltzed into my life
He filled my soul with all I dreamed of hearing
He even  had a tender kiss.

I flew high up in the sky 
I giggled as the butterflies fluttered
I dreamed like a little girl in love for the first time

Then like a new season approaching
The red flags began appearing
But oh so high how easy to just close my eyes and soar

The seasons came  The seasons went 
The skies began to darken 
My  eyes began to open
The emptiness began to consume me

I had caught a glimpse of the man when  he wasn't looking
The pain and despair gutted my flesh  
Raw and exposed wanting to disappear
Just close my eyes and make it go disappear

My feet back on the ground
Feeling less than zero
The fantasy began to spin

Not so high but a welcome relief
The fantasy kept the dream alive

Another glimpse here and there
Reality knocking  on  my door
Go away  I  say  Just let me close my eyes 

Longing for  my love
Where did he go  I  miss me so
This stranger  here  is not him

The time has come   The time has gone
I  could  love  this  stranger  but not this way
I can not share

The  dream  is shattered  The fantasy is fading
All that remains  are the memories
Goodbye  for now
I love you so.
