The Dream Lights

The lights shone bright the night 

I first saw you 

You walked into the room 

the lights grew brighter 

I saw only you 

for what you were 

sweet when you were with me 

you made me feel again

you had turned on the lights 

that were dim for too long

made them shine bright again 

those happy little lights were finally on 

You smiled, I smiled

We laughed 

we sang 

we danced 

I was myself with you at last

Then one day the lights grew dim 

Your warmth was cold

And that was it. 

the lights went black 

and yet again 

the dreaming stopped 

and each bulb 

went dim.
