A dream

You touched me so gently,
Springing tears to my eyes.
I don't want to be without you again,
don't want to be alone,
but you're fading from my grasp.
The heart inside this chest of mine,
it's trembling whenever I hear you say my name,
and whenever you touch me I hold my breath.
Cross my boundaries of who I am,
take me wholly into you,
because I don't want to be without.
I'll fall into the oblivion
of your arms,
smiling for you.
But again, morning light comes
and you fade from my grasp.
You won't tell me you care for me
and you don't tell me that I matter in your world
yet you touch me so tenderly,
like feathers or book pages with the wind.
Don't fade from my life again,
you're the purest dream of love,
the strongest beat of my heart.
Don't walk away from me,
tell me you don't want me to ever leave.
Tell me you want me to stay up to awful hours
just talking to you, touching you.
You called me Lovely, my heart leapt.
Please acknowledge these feelings,
please bring your dream into my reality
and let them collide.
Let it consume me if that is not possible then,
let me get lost in your dream,
our dream,
this dream.
