In my dreams you come to me 
and caress me in my thoughts
As I lay in silent slumber 
praying that it never stops. 

The memory constantly churning 
my heart begins to weep 
Knowing that I can be with you 
only when I sleep. 

As my dream of yesterday 
slowly starts to unwind 
I can feel the dawn approaching 
Inhaling your scent. 

I hold it in 
as if I can keep you here. 
But when I awake you are gone, 
Hoping somehow you'll be near. 

A tear slowly fills my eye 
for nothing was as it seemed. 
You are gone and I can be with you 
only in my dreams.
