I sit here and visualize the days that have passed me by
back to the lonely nights spent staring into the moonlight
waiting to catch a glimpse of your affection
and once i caught it all in my palm of my hands
you came and stole away my loneliness
satisfied my emptiness with a single beat of your heart
but now as i stare into the night for some lingering hope
beyond the gray clouds that shadowed my eyes from the truth
i come to discover that "us" was all a figment of my imagination
i was nothing more than an object of self-gratification
and now us is done
and I'm left with the memories of what we could have been.
