my version of you

i probably looked at you a thousand times, i never really saw you, i had a picture of you in my mind, i thought you could live up to, you drew a line between us in the sand, the tide came and washed it away, but god, it felt amazing when you held my hand, like you heard everything i wasn't brave enough to say, i put you on a pedestal, gave you so far to fall, i came to see that knowing you, wasn't knowing you at all, so can we go back, to when i thought you were perfect, i want to believe, in your mystery, because you're the dream i, had for so much of my life, who will i become, if i give you up, so even if it's not true, i want another moment, with my version of you, i saw you floating in a crystal sky, but you were always out of my reach, how come i never stopped to wonder why, it was okay you didn't need me, somewhere inside of me i think i know, we're not the people that we were then, i watched you leave but i can't let you go, in spite of everything it doesn't feel like it's the end, my paper thin arguments, don't hold weight anymore, the paths we chose will never lead, to the way things were before, you are a figment of my imagination, you are a being of my own creation, i wish you could exist, no other way than this
