Once, We Were Dreamers

If I told you I were to die tonight,
Would you stay here with me?
Or would you run to where we felt safe,
And hide in our memories?

If I told you I were to die tonight,
Would you shed a tear?
Or would you gather all our friends,
Everyone I hold dear?

If I told you I were to die tonight,
Would you hold my hand?
And whisper our dreams into my ear,
And everything we'd planned.

If I told you I were to die tonight,
And asked you not to go,
Would you close your eyes too,
As my heart began to slow?

I tell you, I will die tonight,
As the storm rages in my chest,
But I will leave you with a dream,
My loveliest and best.
