i fell asleep for a second
but only so i could dream of you

i wish i could love you the way i want to
-in reality-
but so long as i am loving you
then let me dream
     let me sleep

i'll only ever have you as a dream
so tuck me in and sleep beside me
because thats when the two touch for a just a moment of a second
in between your morning breathe
in between your sheets
in between your goodnight kiss that never touched my lips...just a brush across my cheek
when you sleep and dream next to me
thats when you, my dream, are so vivid it feels real
but when i wake to find if it true
i long to close my eyes again, again beside you

id only call you a nightmare if dream were ever so accurate to how you wake me so
more than morning coffee
more than alarm clocks
more than turning on the bedroom light!!!
awakened but alseep
but oh, how turning on the night light takes me so...
to lay next to you
to entwine my fingers in your hair
to touch your skin and embrace you- tangled up in me more then the blankets
to hold you so perfectly when your so beautiful lying there
   you and me asleep
   you and me asleep

and maybe you dream of me...
maybe behind your closed eyes you sleep the same secrets
all i know is this is honestly the best part of my life
and to have you forever i hope means that i dream this dream every night
