Dream

Last night I fell asleep, thinking of you

I felt you in my arms, I didn't know what to do

Your lips then pressed against mine, and it tasted so sweet

I was overwhelmed by the ever growing heat

I felt so safe with you right by my side

I knew that I had absolutely nothing to hide

You then told me that you loved me so much

I leaned over to feel your tender touch

The look in your eyes was so caring and warm

Suddenly it hit me that this picture was torn

This feeling I felt in the middle of the night

Felt so real and felt so right

But then in the morning when I opened my eyes

I notice that this picture was a whole bunch of lies

I realized that it was not just as it seemed

And that this picture was just a hopeless dream
