Ever with me

You shouldn't frequent my dreams the way that you do -

though I love you, adore you - you know that it’s true.

You must go your own way and I must go mine,

anything else would be overstepping the line.

Why do you still come to me when I drift off to sleep?

Why do you persist in reminding me, when you know that I keep

the memory of you tucked away deep in my heart

and though we're not together . . . we’re never truly apart.

Please be still now, knowing that you are ever with me.

You will always have my heart, so please let me be.
