Ad Maiora

by @gossamer-2

In my dreams, I lose my teeth and packs of wolves howl at me I run toward them in the moonlight And when I wake, you're lying there I'll start to smile, I'll touch your hair but you'll just turn away I'll get a coffee, maybe two whenever I go out with you in case I start to fall asleep in case I start to dream In my dreams, I'm running free across the land, between the trees and all the wolves run with me And in the morning, I am sore from dreaming hard, from wanting more, from all these chains that bind me You say that I've been acting strange, sleeping all of my days away, but I'm not tired, and I'm not sleeping I'm awake, and I am dreaming In my dreams, they call to me the mountaintops, the evergreens and I hear the haunting echo of a howl; so this is all to let you know that when I do decide to go it's really, truly just because of me; it's only ever been about my dreams.
