You + me

In my sleeping hours
Life reads you + me
I never want to wake
From these tainted dreams

But dawn always breaks
And creeps it's merry way in
Rousing me from my reverie
All the faded memories dim

Another day, another moment
Without you here, its true
My special little someone
Who left for someone new

I am no longer yours to hold
I hold no love for you
Not anymore, not after this
You made pretty sure we were through
