Melancholy

I saw you again, last night, in my dreams
You were sad, crying
I tried to reach out
But the walls around your heart proved too tall to climb
You walked off
I tried to follow, feet stuck in present time
Why do I feel like this?
Friends hold me back
Or is it just my ego?
I'm lost in time, swimming through my memories
Reliving every moment with you.

Looking at you, over the fence
Laughing and chatting with your buddies
But in your eyes, I see emptiness
Or it could be just a reflection of mine

Trying to fit in, like an odd piece of the jigsaw
When will I ever learn,
I can't go on without you.
