I remember I dreamed of something so wonderful
I was sure that I'd never forget it
The passion that filled my heart
The thing that made me whole
Something that seemed so obvious
And so profound
I was certain I'd remember it
But as my full consciousness came to me
The wonderful memory faded
The connection I shared
With something beyond mortality
Left me
I watched the thing slip from my grasp
Completely aware
Just as I had been of the thought that I'd remember
What seemed obvious to me moments before
Faded away
I knew something I desperately craved
Dissolved from my mind
A beautiful song had spoken to me
Painted the most incredible picture in my soul
Stirred something inside me that had been sleeping for so long
That I'd woken up to understand it
Somehow the longer I looked at it
The farther away it was
Even though deep in my soul I knew
It was something I needed
Sometimes I think we are revealed divine secrets
Something beyond consciousness reminds you of the truth
But it always seems too big for the mind to handle
Things only the heart could ever know
Slip through your hands as soon as you try to grasp it
I know it was about a romance beyond time
A love that surpasses death
Something brilliant shining in my chest
Something you would understand
But I know there was more to it
A feeling I can't quite grasp or replicate
Something bigger than the word "love" could ever contain
If only I could show it to you
If only I could look past my pathetic vision of self
If only I were allowed to remember...
Maybe we wouldn't feel so empty
