You beckon at me
In my dreams
I yearn for closeness
Just a touch
Just a nod
Anything that confirms
You are here
And you'll stay

I chase after you
But my legs refuse to move
As if I'm stuck
In wet cement
Slowly sinking
With every breath.

The distance between us
Ever increasing
And then she comes
You embrace her
The look on your face
Is so precious
As if you have found
A long lost treasure
I watch you scrape the colors off my world
To paint hers.

With your name still
On the tip of my tongue
I wake up,
Sweating,
My hands look for you,
And these moments are what I live for
When my mind forgets
That you are not there You never were

But then realisation comes
Creeping in too soon.
The rest of the night
Is spent
In tossing and turning

The morning light
With itself brings
Some sleep
As I get ready
For another tiring day

And from my dreams
You slide in my heart,
With every pump
You take over my soul
You occupy my thoughts

You love playing with my mind
If you only knew,
You would show off your smirk
And that smirk would leave
Its trace all over my face
Such crazy things
Only love can do

And I try
To wash your face off
My thoughts
But all the sinews and all the nerves
Start yelling your name
I can't resist you,
My mind refuses to cooperate
And at night,
In my dreams
I see you again
