I was sat thinking one day and a story began formulating in my mind. As the story took shape, so did the melody in my head.

This is the story:

Many years ago a young couple, who were madly in love, had to split up due to family pressure. They both spent their lives regretting their decision to split up.

The woman hears that her lover had recently died. In shock, she falls asleep. Waking up, she sees the ghost of her lover standing next to her bed. He explains that he had been trying to find her, but people kept telling him she was missing.

The couple speak to each other of their undying love and devotion, and of their regret in letting each other go. But all too soon, the ghost of her lover begins to fade.

She begs him to stay and dream with her, while she’s still awake, but he continues to fade. Just before he fades away completely, she realizes she’ll be with him again, and this world is just a Mask of Time.

Lyrics

They said you were missing
Now that you see me
Do you remember
Words that we said?

We said never ever
Now and forever
I know I’m missing
Words that you said.

Please, my emotions
My feelings, devotions
Stay dream with me
While I’m still awake.

I can’t help myself
This love of mine
Here we are in ours
The Mask of Time.

Please, my emotions
My feelings, devotions
Stay dream with me
While I’m still awake.

I can’t help myself
This love of mine
Here we are in ours
The Mask of Time.
