Not Even In My Dreams by Amy WustrinWhen you left
It was so bad
I cried all the time
And wrote you everyday
In a marbel notebook
Black and white
Letters you will never see
Lyrics that you'd roll your eyes at
Tears fell so endlessly
Heavy-heart ached so loudly
That sometimes it was all I heard
And I couldn't see it ever getting better
But it wasn't only my waking moments
That found me twisted up in knots
Writhing in grief at our untimely demise
I would dream about you, Love
And no ordinary dreams, either
Always the same scene playing out
You'd be home for the weekend
I'd be en route to where you were
But I wouldn't know you were there
And you'd be gone by the time I arrived
I must have had that dream
Over a half a dozen times
In that first year you were gone
And it always broke my heart
When I would learn within a week or so
That it really happened
Every time
We never did have good timing, Love
