But Then I Woke Up.

I was walking along this empty street,

And there you were standing in front of me.

I looked up to see your face,

Ohh how I felt my heart thump and race.

We stood there for a while and talked.

We laughed and shared a few good jokes.

Seconds lasted for minutes.

Minutes lasted for hours.

How time flies so fast.

How I wish this moment will last,

Together we walked along this empty street,

Hand in hand, our hearts beating the same beat.

You looked at me and stared,

And kissed me like no one ever dared.

I closed my eyes and felt your embrace,

But when I opened them I see nothing but an empty space.

I closed my eyes again and there you were.

I see your smile but it's all a blur.

I felt your presence. Your hand touching mine.

You hugged me tight and assured me everything's fine.

"Don't go", I said. "Please don't go".

"I won't", you said, "I won't let go".

Tears were rolling down my face,

Is this the part where we part ways?

I closed my eyes, hoping you won't leave.

But no, you're gone, how will I live?

Was all this just a dream?

Were you just a part of my reverie?

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath,

All the while feeling dread.

I opened up my eyes and realized,

These are all my mind's lies.

I was waking up from my dream,

Your presence replaced by this empty space.

I wanted to see you again.

To feel your touch and warm embrace.

But then I woke up,

For real this time.

And yes, it was all just a dream.
