This is actually a song lyric that I wrote when I entered a competition to write a new song for Robbie Williams (of all people) - the music was provided and it was harder than I thought to put words to music - anyhoo - I didn't win as you can tell otherwise I would now be living it up on a deserted island by now with my royalties!!

I'm still dreaming of the first time
When I held you in my arms
You could feel the wanting in me
Kisses tasting soft and warm

Why do I still dream of our last night
Two as one yet all alone
The sudden rush I felt as you pulled me closer

Oh but now the dream has broken
Lying shattered on the floor
Leaving me alone with so much longing in me
Did you have to close the door
I just can't take this anymore

I still dream of how you tasted
Your warm body next to mine
Loving words whispered in my ear
Caresses slow and so sublime

Its lonely nights and endless days now
Mindless things I try to do
Just to close my mind , why am I still dreaming

Oh but now the dream has broken
Lying shattered on the floor
Leaving me alone with so much longing in me
Did you have to close the door
I just can't take this anymore

Tell me why these dreams still haunt me
How long will this torment last
I need to free myself from these thoughts of you
It's time I closed the door
I just don't need you anymore

But my life will still go on now
I will still be who I am
Rid myself of all the hurt you left inside me
I'll never hurt this way again
I now know this is the end.
