Lake Days

 Lake Days

That moment in the moonlight

I felt you were mine

We danced at the bonfire

Without a care dear 

But we wake up and recognize 

That what ever we were feeling was just a moment 

I loved you I thought 

But that was an illusion 

Created by the lake days

I spent with you 

I thought if I sought 

My dreams tragic illusions 

Created by the lake days

I spent with you

And as the sun did rise up

You drifted away. 

Like you were never there

Like a fantôme

But we open our eyes and see 

A prism of light hopes and dreams on the waters surface 

I loved you I thought 

But that was an illusion 

Created by the lake days

I spent with you 

I thought if I sought 

My dreams tragic illusions 

Created by the lake days

I spent with you

Do we even know each other

Much less ourselves

We claim to be better than our pasts

Those lake days.   But are we?  Are we?

I loved you I thought 

But that was an illusion 

Created by the lake days

I spent with you 

I thought if I sought 

My dreams tragic illusions 

Created by the lake days

I spent with you

I’d know

I’d see

I’m still blind 

The sun setting on the lake

Has blinded me. 

The sun setting on that day

Has blinded me. 

I know 

I see

I’m still blind

Lake days

Good days

Bad days 

Love days

Hate days 

Lake days 

With someone I’ll never see again.
