Those were fleeting moments of bliss
Like the sweet words that swayed you over to me
Letting my fingers play with your skin
Softly, the touch of a swift breeze
Barely after which you left
As slyly as you did fall into my arms
Sending me into shock;
A beautiful dream I never wanted to end
Where I smiled and you laughed
You cried and I’d hold you
And we’d close our eyes and still wake to the depths of each other’s eyes
But still you left; another shock
A rude awakening rather
To reality
The reality we trampled underfoot with our dreams
Now staring dead at me, welcoming me back with laughter
And I walk as a dead man
I hear them say you took my heart
I don’t really know
I dreamt and I just woke up
You were my dream.
