I had that dream again, the one where I'm lying next to her
And she is blissfully asleep, lost in her head
She is a million degrees as my body lies next to hers
the moonlight shines through the blinds and softly lights
my dark bedroom and caresses her sleeping head
Her cheeks are glowing I rest a finger on them
She's really here, I can't believe it.
She feels for me whispers, "come a little closer."
Who am I to resist? I know there's nowhere else I'd rather be
My eyes slowly close and the moon light dims.

My door abruptly roars open, my heart stops
light invades and my eyes struggle to focus
mind is screaming for the dark again but no words leave my mouth
my arms reach for you but all dreams must end
you were never truly there anyway
I'm glad you weren't though.
Can you imagine what they would say if they found you in my bed?
My heart had no choice but to continue
the door closes and the real person bids me farewell
My bedroom once again engulfed in darkness
Body drenched in sweat, my dreams still echo
My bed truly is empty, not even I wish to be there

Maybe I'd sleep better next to her
or maybe a vacant bed is something I should get used to...
