A Summer Night

I wake up and you’re not next to me

Did I dream that you were there?

A note you left flickering in the morning air

It tells me something that I didn’t want to know

Last night you told me that I made you happy

Is this another mistake I’ve made?

Last night’s memories blur and slowly fade

I want to fight this as I don’t want to let you go

 

Chorus:

We laughed about life

We hugged through the night

We told each other secrets

We stared at the flames

We watched them dance

We lived for this moment in time

 

I missed your phone call this afternoon

In a moment, could I make a choice?

In my mind I heard your beautiful voice

My indecisiveness was just another sign

Your note signed off, ‘I’ll see you soon’

Have I gained another friend?

This wasn’t how I dreamt it would end

Sat silently, overthinking that last line

 

A cold summer night by the roaring fire

Is that a moment that we had to share?

Love can sometimes be so unfair

I thought I saw something in your eyes

In the dark moonlight, the fire slowly burns

Is this the moment that we find out?

My dreams turning quickly into doubt

If this is a game, then I’ve lost my prize
