While chasing your ghost,

I became one myself

Because I never gave up hope

That you weren’t really gone

You started to fade

And I clung to the thought

That we would be together

Even when we were not

I never dreamed of the day

That I’d lose you forever

That you’re not coming back

That you are not real

I chased you and loved you

Begging to stay

But that could not happen

As you fade away
