We used to make sweet memories
but now I’m making none
every time we danced
you always held me tight
but now I hold no one
We spent our days together
but alone at night I cry
waiting for the “Sweet Dreams”
then wake up to the lie
You’ve gone away and left me
but you never had a choice
in my heart I hear you whispering
oh, I love to hear your voice
Sometimes I think I’m crazy
in this fragile state I’m in
but each night I have my “Sweet Dreams”
where we’re back in love again

I’m ok, Chuck. I am going through some health issues. The first set of tests came back ok but I have more in the future. Hopefully, they will turn out fine, also, and I can get to the bottom of what’s going on.

Thank You, Vanessa! Yes, it was hard. It took me over 4 time reading what I wrote at home before I could read it without losing it. Weird, how some things really wrench Your heart?
