I dreamed about you last night
You were as fragile as a butterfly
And it was like in real life
I just had to watch you die 
And yet you do not leave me here
You kiss me like you always did, dear 
On my forehead or on my cheek 
And when I used to feel weak 
I would run to your side
I would hide 
And then let you find me 
And you didn’t mind me 
Being a little bit strange
And all the peace rearrange
To atoms that say that you are gone 
But your song
Will have life as long as I am breathing 
You were always something I was needing 
As I would lie into you
And at fifteen I watched you
Washing the dishes at the sink 
And all I could do was think 
Of what would happen the day you died 
If I would break like waves of tears I cried 
And I insulated myself 
Under the veil of mental health
Because I can’t shatter again
And there are legions of men 
Who would take my hand 
And make me “understand”
What true love means
But it’s insubstantial as the stuff of dreams 
And you are wholly really
And even though you’ve left I still feel 
You in my veins and blood
Like when I was lying in the wood
And I felt the soul of the trees
Kiss me when I’m on my knees
And I know that your prayers save me 
Even when I cave, we 
Will always be a two by two 
And it’s not up to someone forgetting you 
It’s something that you always are
You are not on some far distant star
You are in my heart
And in this instant we are not apart
