My mind wishes you were near,
My eyes long to see your face.
My nose craves the scent you give off.
My ears break when I hear your voice.
My mouth stunned, unable to speak
As you come closer to me.
My body clings to your side,
But you turn me around to hug you.
My heart cries out for you every day,
Screaming your name in the shadows
Knowing you aren't here with me.
I awaken, as does the Earth.
The sun shines through my window
To shine a light on my face.
Dreams, what a wonderful thing.
And yet, terrible, knowing they aren't real.
I close my eyes, my mind flies through dreams.
I see you again; my fantasy.
But never waking; now my reality.

My mind wishes you were near,
My eyes long to see your face.
My nose craves the scent you give off.
My ears break when I hear your voice.
My mouth stunned, unable to speak
As you come closer to me.
My body clings to your side,
But you turn me around to hug you.
My heart cries out for you every day,
Screaming your name in the shadows
Knowing you aren't here with me.
I awaken, as does the Earth.
The sun shines through my window
To shine a light on my face.
Dreams, what a wonderful thing.
And yet, terrible, knowing they aren't real.
I close my eyes, my mind flies through dreams.
I see you again; my fantasy.
But never waking; now my reality.
