I dream of you.
Over and over,
Your hand is held in mine.
Time and time again,
Your arms are wrapped around me.
Stranger,
You light my fantasies.
You caress my cheek with the pad of your thumb
carefully tracing my lips.
Stranger,
You haunt my every thought.
Stranger,
You taunt my aching heart.
Why?
I dare to wake,
I can't bear to lose you.
Stranger,
You allure me.
You pull me in.
You smile, teeth, dimples, and all.
You laugh, I laugh-- In love.
As the smoke overtakes your image.
Slowly, but surely.
As fast as you arrived,
You left.

I dream of you.
Over and over,
Your hand is held in mine.
Time and time again,
Your arms are wrapped around me.
Stranger,
You light my fantasies.
You caress my cheek with the pad of your thumb
carefully tracing my lips.
Stranger,
You haunt my every thought.
Stranger,
You taunt my aching heart.
Why?
I dare to wake,
I can't bear to lose you.
Stranger,
You allure me.
You pull me in.
You smile, teeth, dimples, and all.
You laugh, I laugh-- In love.
As the smoke overtakes your image.
Slowly, but surely.
As fast as you arrived,
You left.
