dream to make believe.

i wish i would have known you before the world did.
before the world stole your soul.
i think i would have loved the way you used to be.
and i'm pretty sure you would have loved me too.
we could have made the world explode.
we would have been perfect for each other.
just like she's perfect for him.
i understand you. you think no one does, but i do.
i love the way you are.
but just seeing who you were before all this chaos
drives me insane.

countless 'maybe's.
endless 'what if's.
forever unanswered.

i'd like to believe that when we dream,
it's another world.
a whole new different world.
without all this imperfection.
without all these things stopping us from being together.
and i'd like to think that while i'm dreaming of you,
you're dreaming of me too.
we're together in that world.
and merely knowing that makes me happy.
ecstatic, in fact.

you are the reason why i wake up with a smile on my face.

i'd have to remember to thank you for that when i see you.
