Sailing Beside Me
Here I sit and dream,
Of things that weren't meant to be.
Things I wanted that came,
With the bitter cost of endless pain.
You were one of those things,
And were ever present in my dreams.
I never wanted to lose you,
But I never got to choose.
For Fate snatched you away,
Never to be seen again by the light of day.
So young you were when you passed,
Never to sail again before the mast.
My feelings for you, I never told,
While you were still a living soul.
To the sea, now that chance is lost,
Between the waves, to be forever tossed.
In the day, I think of you, as I sail upon the sea,
Yet by night, you are there in my sea of dreams,
Sailing beside me.
