Please do not wake me,
While I am dreaming,
For it is only in my dreams
That I ever get to hold him.
When I ask for those five extra minutes,
I am asking for five minutes
That I will never know
With my eyes open.
But when I am dreaming,
There he is.
His warmth is there,
I can feel his heartbeat,
His hands feel just as real.
When I am dreaming,
For a moment he is mine.
I acknowledge that everything I am saying
Sounds just like desperation,
But then I must ask you
If you have ever been in love.
And if you have,
Then I urge you to recall
The longing
Of simply wanting to hold
The one you love.
Of simply wanting to be near him.
I can not have him.
He does not belong to me.
But please do not wake me.
Do not steal my dreams.
Please, allow me to hold him,
If only in my sleep.
Please.
Please.
Allow me that.
