Ghost of You

I dreamed of her for ten years and it was always heartbreaking.

My life is haunted

By the ghost of you

Who took my soul

In the palm of your hand

And through no fault of your own

Led me to ruin

I fell for you

When you fell away

And when I told you loved you

It was too late by far

And I had sunk my spirit

So deeply into yours

That I couldn’t be friends

And my soulmate was gone

I did foolish things

I took you for granted

When I called you my own

I was asleep at the wheel

When the iron was hot

And the magic that could have been

Slipped away

It cuts me deep

When I think about what could have been

We were at our best

When we were together

Finally the time has come

Where I no longer see you in my dreams

But as I sit with my time

And the path life could have taken

I’m haunted

By the ghost of you

There was a time when my soul, ego and mental health were very fragile and adding a broken heart to the mix was hard to take. I made the mistake of missing the boat with a stunningly beautiful Vietnamese girl who loved me when I didn’t care and that I loved when she didn’t care.

I foolishly ended our friendship on the basis that I though seeing her without having her would be painful. I realized afterwards that I had ended the last relationship keeping my sane.

I dreamed of her for ten years and it was always heartbreaking.

I’m still haunted by the ghost of what could have been.
