My dream, my reality
Oh, how hard it is to lead a dual life
One for the world, one in my heart
A smile on my face, but tears deep inside
To whom should I say, to whom should I confide
That I am no longer whole
Because you are apart
I long to breakdown in your arms
And scream out my deepest desire
But, instead, I fake my happiness
My lips aching at the effort, my heart restless
It's only because of you
That I am now a liar
I prided myself in keeping others happy
But little did I know
That's all I will ever do
For in keeping them happy
I lost my pleasure
I lost you
I know that my entire life is going to be a sham
For you will be in my dreams forever….
And my dreams will be my only reality
In reality, I shall live for others
And my reality will be my biggest nightmare
That's the price for loving you
That's my penalty for wanting you
But I will willingly pay the price, and willingly accept the penalty
Because it's only after loving you that my life turned pretty
Just to have you in my dreams….
I will gladly relish my dual identity
