Visions

Day by day visions are getting closer
More true, more real
Not the shadows anymore
But wearing familiar faces
That look down to me

In the dreams I call you and you come
Embracing me, holding me tight
So all the fears and nightmares are gone
Till the morning comes with cold breath of the wind

You are so far in this reality
No recognition in your eyes
Or so I believe

There are miles and hours between us
And thousands years apart

But a red thread connecting two souls never tears
Running through all these long years

Will you notice me when we meet
Or just pass by as if I am nothing
A pale shadow of the past?
Will you look at me with a smile
And a spark of recognition in your eyes?
Will you talk to me as I am someone special, as I am the one?

I whisper with a prayer your name every night
Caressing a hope within my heart
That one day we will meet
And you whisper to me silently “我爱你。”
