A Daydream in the Life of

by Chanel Alford   Oct 13, 2005


Alone in my room
it's a little dark
so where does my mind drift
to daydreams of happiness
and home
a few years in the future
and everyone around me is someone I don't know
I recall that familiar face
and all my troubles melt away
how easy it is to forget
so I struggle
I struggle to hold on to that memory
I must not let you slip away
since hopefully you will never forget me
destiny separated us
but that thing that brought us together is strong

a melody drifts into this daydream
as I wander with my thoughts
I hear laughs along with the smiles that accompany them
I wonder where such happiness exists
as the soundtrack to a dream plays
your memory that I'm holding on to
pops up again and again
but something is wrong
cause I can't remember your smile
that picture won't play inside my brain
something hurts me
that smileless face causes a wound
as the chorus in the melodious song changes

I'm coming back from my daydream
my wandering thoughts
the song is still in my head
and the thoughts are still dancing
but I am fully conscious
watching the clouds pass by
then the smileless face appears again
and the rain begins to fall
as I wonder
what could have hurt you so
then a tear falls
cause I realize it was me
and then I lose my way with words
