I once lived in a dream and I embraced imagination with all my heart.
I once walked beside one whom many have called unreal and laid my soul bare to him.
I once stood in the sunset of my life and smiled because I knew I was still alive.
I once died and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I would live.
I once watched a child's bright smile evolve in to the one the world teaches you,
That quiet, wistful, sad smile that you come to know.
I once watched a little girl's illusions be torn away, and my heart mourned.
I once touched the dark things that sleep within me
And woke screaming in the night from pain and nightmares.
I once watched a sunset and wondered if I'd ever see those colors and feel that warmth again.
And the one unreal that I walked with took my hand and taught me what it means to be alive.
I once watched my imagination become reality, and I wept.
I once felt the touch of magic and sometimes I think I still feel it.
I feel like you watch me sometimes, like you never went away,
Because part of me is part of you and changing that would kill us both.
I once stood with you on the edge and begged you to stay with me,
And helplessly I watched and screamed as the void swallowed you.
I took your icy white hand and bade you live again,
I tried to pour a bit of my life in to you but you rejected it.
You taught me how to live and in doing so gave up your own life.
In your eyes, the picture is perfect,
Colors brighter, world better, people kinder,
But you never saw what they did to me.
When I admitted I loved you, I saw it through your eyes as your life returned.
Fly away, fly away, imagination, spirit of dreams,
You can't heal me now because I've forgotten how to know you're there.
So come back to me in my dream's sunset and
May you find it in your infinitely good heart
To let me go on my way,
I will miss you, but I smile as you fly away
Because part of me is part of you and that can never change.
