Alone You Breathe

You were never one for waiting
Still I always thought you'd wait for me
And have you from your dream awakened
And from where you are what do you see

Which of us is now in exile
Which in need of amnesty
Are you now but an illusion
In my mind alone you breathe

You're thrown it all away
And now we'll never see
The ending of the play
The grand design, the final line
And what was meant to be

In the dark a distant runner
Now has disappeared into the night
Leaving us to stand and wonder
Staring from this end into your life

Standing on a dream isn't what it seems
Could we then reclaim a dream refused
Knowing what we know, could we let it go
Realizing that all the years are used
