I know it..
I do..I really do.
But why does it have to..

You... so calm about it.
I, the emotional roller coaster.
Highs and lows

Now you see me, now you don’t
Is that how it will remain?
Lost to a world of minutes
Nothing more..

Must it always be
If so, what choice do I have
Do I have one, or not?
Will I?

Tears, creasing my face
as my lips tremble.
Too much..

Leave me?
Letting me see the shrink of you
as a lonely shadow walks away
into the night..

I do, can’t you tell?
Choices,made....
Unbroken
Reality...

One wish...
Let me have this..
Your dreams

For...
In them, you are there..
Beside me..

Till we wake
And reality stares back
from a mirror too clear
And...I know...we do...
We will

Magnus - Very good.  It is sometimes such a struggle to get someone you love to open up and share their dreams, their feelings.  Nicely done.

Magnus...Well expressed sorrow and pain of loss and love.  It is so hard to see another love in our future when we lose that one that we thought was the only one for us. I pray your heart and soul will find its place of healing.

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
