Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me?
He says her name, just a whisper, as he wakes up. It breaks his heart every morning he opens his eyes and sees the empty side of the bed where she used to lay. He misses her.
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
She always said the same things when he was lost to the world. Not real. Not real. Not real. It's okay, it's not real. She said it less and less as time passed. It used to make her so angry. She wasn't angry about all the things they took from her. Not anymore. She was angry because of what they took from him. She just wanted him to be free.
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
He tried to forget her. The moment he knew she was lost to him, he tried. He tried to move on and pretend he never knew her, never knew what it felt like to hold her, to feel her, to be with her. But his love for her had gone on for far too long and it was intense and pure and true. He could never forget her. He truly didn't want to.
And at sweet night, you are my own
He says her name before he closes his eyes at night, remembering her beautiful face. He wanted to save her, to love her, to be her everything. In the day, he knew it never could be. Not anymore. But at night, he escapes reality and in his dreams she is his.
I have dreamt of a place for you and I
She watches him watching her, trying to hold himself together for her. He always tried to be there for her, even now when his heart was breaking in the worst way. This was final, this was truly the end. She whispers his name with a smile on her face as she closed her eyes, dreaming of the place where they would meet again.
No one knows who we are there
She was alone, waiting for him. She had a sad smile on her face, thinking about how happy they would both be here. Being here with him would be perfect. Here there wasn't any history, nothing bad, nothing horrible. The only thing missing was him.
All I want is to give my life only to you
She started giggling as she thought about how unlikely everything was. He had always thought he would give his life for her. Later, she thought she would give her life for him. Neither of them ended up sacrificing their lives but she knew that if there ever was a need for it, they would both be glad to do it.
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
She was watching him again today. It made her sad that he was barely living, still clinging on to her. At the same time, she knew it was going to be soon. Just a little more time and everything they had ever dreamed about would come true.
Let's run away, I'll take you there
She whispered his name as she held out her hand. She knew he could see her, even if he thought it wasn't real. She watched him reach out to take her hand. Real. Real. Real. This is real. She returned his tear-filled gaze and smiled as their hands touched and held on.
Take my hand, we're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name
