I Have A Dream...

As the sun sets my anticipation grows
I open the window to let the cool breeze blow
My heart beats faster and faster as if it’s under attack
Curtains closed, lights off, every corner’s pitch should be black.
There is only one way I can see you, if the conditions are right
So everything has to be perfect, tonight is definitely the night

Starvation is setting in, you are part of my balanced diet
No music, no sound just silencing the quiet
Lay on the bed with great expectation of your arrival,
Seeing your face again is an essential part of my survival.
I need to see you, my images of you are starting to blur
My mind is distorted, I’m forgetting about how we were

How it felt to hear you speak
How that beautiful voice was so unique
How your touch warmed the spirit of my soul
How even on my emptiest day, it made me feel whole

My body couldn't fight my all settings

I couldn't fend off how sleepy I was getting

As my body became motionless and my eyelids closed
I could feel a slight touch on my back, It was you i suppose

I glance out of one eye, and it was YOU

This is the one moment my mind was trying to pursue
I was finally able to see you face to face

Time was taking too much time, I couldn't wait

My true feelings I tried to express

I wanted to say so much, but I was just speechless

I have longed for just one hug, I reach out my arms

Where have you gone!!, All I can hear is the sounds of the alarm

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP

As I awake, my heart still sleeps

Everything felt so real, nothing seemed fake

In my sleep, I feel so awake

If only I could sleep forever

That way we would always be together

But until that time it would only seem

that I will have to wait until my next dream
