I see you in my dreams;
you're not real.
You are everything I want;
good is what I feel.
You say the perfect things
at the best times.
You even smile just so
and your laughter is like a soft rhyme.
I become a person with you
but it's only in a dream.
You make me laugh and smile
or so it only seems.
I wake up smiling
wishing to find you near.
But I only become disappointed
in knowing you're not here.
I really hope it is a sign
that you are the one.
You're laughter even lights up
the stars and the sun.
You've become the better half
of the person I should be.
You remind me of the best things
and you give me a memory.
You do the things I dream of doing
with happiness and no fear.
But then I wake up and realise
you never were really here.
You seem so real, so close
but you're more than miles away.
You seem so perfect, so close
to the one I want to marry one day.
Maybe you're my angel
my guardian from above.
Hopefully you're the one
that I will soon get to love.
Right when I forget
that I ever dreamed of you,
you run back to me in my dreams
and do the sweet things you do.
No matter how long it has been
your name stays in my head.
I've deprived myself of a lover
because of this happiness you've fed.
You are so close
what seems a heartbeat away,
then I reach my hand for you
and see you weren't even there today.
I cry to you in my dream
and you hold me close and cry too.
I wake up with tears on my pillows
but I don't wake up next to you.

Wonder if I didn't wake
after I did see you,
would that make me closer
to being always with you?
Would that give me the chance
to be your forever girl?
Would I have to leave
this long known world?
If the only way to see you
is in my dreams only.
I'd rather dream forever
than be forever lonely.
