You came to me like a dream when I was sound asleep,
In the milliseconds between my heavy breathing.
You took over my unconscious and took my world away from me.
I was a slave to my addiction,
I was a slave to you.
You were a constant feeling of never wanting to wake up, but knowing I’ll one day have to.
Waking up too early would leave me longing,
Waking up too late would leave me dead.
The place you took me was magical, filled with never ending warm breezes and sandy beaches,
Blankets and your soft hands up and down my spine.
You were never one to speak, but I felt I knew you well.  
You swayed me to sleep, and for a while I thought you never slept yourself.
Your eyes didn't close, you kept them on me.
Some days when I woke up, I caught a tear in your eye,
You’d wipe it away thinking I never saw,
I pretended I didn’t,
But I never knew why.
You had secrets, a book I could never open.
Slowly I realized,
You who I thought I knew, was more like a stranger I gave all of my secrets to.
I thought that’s how love worked.
You were my home.
That was the point I should have woken up.
My mind shouted at me to listen but I never did, I was stubborn, as feelings so often make us.
We sat, and you swayed me.
You told me in that dream you’d love me forever,
How quickly once dreams seem now to be nightmares.
