Last night he found his way into my dreams;
His touch felt so real.
I almost couldn't stand just how beautiful he looked.
Just as I remembered,
With that smile that will live forever.
I woke,
And the moment slammed shut like a door.
I wish I could go back,
Breathe him in,
And never wake.
Did I dream because I miss you?
Or were you really there as I slept,
Telling me you miss me too?
I should be thankful for every day,
But dreaming is the only way i'll see you,
And it hurts my every cell.
Though I can live in hope
That you'll come and find me when my eyes are closed.
At least if i'm waiting to dream then i'm not waiting to die;
Just wishing I could sleep forever.
