You spoke to me in a dream tonight

You spoke to me in a dream tonight,
It felt so close and yet so far away, lost when I opened my eyes

And yet I could feel your breath, you felt so real to me
Like a moment in time that was meant to be timed in eternity.

You spoke to me from a distance, not knowing what I spoke back,
Not knowing if I will remember, my words fade that which my recollections lack.

You spoke to me like a friend who was never lost back in time,
And yet I can't seem to shake what we had left far behind.

It came to me like a walk, like a conversation we never had,
Before we went separate ways, the reasons we could never look back.

I think of times that were left behind, why we never asked "why" instead,
Why we never chose to whisper , like a fight we would never pick up again.

You spoke to me like nothing happened, like everything was just fine,
As we stood there painting memories in our head, like the moment endless in time.

I spoke to you about who we were, before we forgot ourselves,
Before everyone who knew us remained behind in memories that we dwell.

You smiled as though we knew things have moved on, and we could start a new,
Like a friendship we never lost, just a phase we knew we could get through.

You came to me in a dream as the sun set and as we spoke till the night was by my side,
As I kept hoping things were just that real, when I would finally open I eyes.

You spoke to me in a dream tonight, if only I could remember what,
How it made sense somehow then and now it seems like things have moved along.

I live in dreams tonight, I had the conversation I never got a chance to have,
Knowing it all meant something, things I wish real life would have said instead.

You spoke to me in a dream tonight with words I can no longer remember
If I only knew things were different now, somehow it was real, it mattered.

I know I can't reach back to you, I can never have the same dream again,
I keep hoping I got my answers tonight, and if not I hope you find the one's you were looking for instead.

Let me start all over again

Let me start all over again, my life; let me rewind,

Let it be the same day like yesterday, that I had in the test of time gone by.

Let me start all over again, when the smiles were true to the heart,

And when voices spoke of the heart's desire, hoping the day would start.

Let me hear closely for my friend's call, when even at a distance; I would find you close,

When it never mattered what we defined we are, just that it's friendship that we chose.

Let me start all over again, when I know my friend was listening back,

I keep looking for her in shadows now, in the many things that I somehow lack.

Let me start with the same faces I knew, the ones I recognized,

The time when in the test of faith, you were always too special to be kept aside.

Broken Flowers by Mindy McGregor

Let me start all over again, with the warm hugs that made my day,

With the faces I knew so well, and the smile that lit my way.

Let me start all over again, when I know you were listening and not simply hearing me out,

When things would always come back to us, our feelings like things there were "lost and found".

Let me start all over again, in the undying hope that I will regain some time,

And you will find what you believed was yours and what I thought was mine.

Let me start all over again, when we made promises to the heart and kept it through,

When the times we couldn't work things out, you were right there, as I was with you.

Let me start all over again hoping today is unending, and we will keep coming back in time,

I will keep hoping for things that remain endless and yet so true, their beauty sublime.

Let me start all over again, when you were listening back, when you read what I wrote; and you cared,

When I could still find a meaning to the things I did every single day, and for every word I shared.

To Friends and Friendships alike

To the many faces, I call my friends,

To unchanging truths, to promises with no ends.

To some coffee cups and tastes in life, some things I could not keep,

To the many talks and fights that lie incomplete somehow still

To some birthday wishes and hugs alike far better than presents tonight,

When all I could wish for is a conversation sometimes, or a reason just to fight

To some broken dreams & hearts tonight, I wish I could fix it too,

I sit endlessly with the pieces still; I wish I could find right glue.

To some treats and foods that you cooked, the ones you thought I liked,

To some silent wishes before I ate then still, hoping I would survive.

To truths and dares and many a games alike, things I would tell you anyways,

The games and cheers and boards are gone, but the feeling seems here to stay.

I look back today and you and me, and how "we" have seemed to change,

And if the world around us seems all but lost, just think it has rearranged

To many a times I stare at the screen, hoping someday you would call,

And hoping you would pick me up, whenever I would fall.

To different worlds and chances still, hoping to grab some time,

Wishing even if everything was lost, at least this friend is mine.

To many a complains that you never call, feeling you don't even care,

Just know I was watching your back, and hoping you were right there.

And the times have changed, and I get cups of coffee still today,

I feel the world beyond me has changed this time, just every single way

To the friend I keep so dear, to the breath I feel so mine,

We might drift apart someday, but our friendship is endless in time

Some will wish you just this day and hope you will understand,

That you are more than a world to me; to me you are everything my friend.
