Nothing

You where mine,
but only in my dreams,

and I was yours,
but only in your mind,

as someone to adored you,
and make you feel desirable,

for that is as far 
as you would let it go,

but I kept hanging on
with dreams of what might be,

someday, somewhere, somehow,
if I could only wait until tomorrow,

though I knew tomorrow would never come,
yet still I kept on dreaming of the day

and now that I admit it to myself,
I can't even feel a sense of loss 

of something I never had,
but in my wildest dreams,

so let go I did, but of what
I'm not really sure.

When you have nothing,
you have nothing to lose,

therefore I guess that nothing was lost, 
so why is it that I now feel so hollow?
