a dream

i dreamt of you last night
after what seems a million years
when i waited, and you never came
when i thought, i was
tired of waiting and hoping
and believing..one day you will

but you were there! you came, this time
for me...no one else, but me
i was so afraid to close my eyes
when you cupped my face
to plant our first kiss...
so afraid that when i open them
you will be gone again...

in whispers, you told me, not to fight
to let this dream live the night
for us
i held my tears and let
you vanish my fears, to take me
to a bliss, only I heard about

we traveled far, from a past
of faded faces, to a future of more dreams
dreams you said we shall share
only we, will always share

i forgot it was a dream
your arms around me, fit perfectly well
your smile on my lips tasted sweet
your breaths in my soul made me
believe...

then, there was a noise, loud and frantic
and people started running, in all directions
shoving us, trampling on us, ignoring us
and we too had to run, together, hand in hand
i felt your tensed grip, you knew didnt you?
you knew, but you won't, you can't..
or so i thought...
tell me...why?
why did we have to let go?

i woke, choking on my tears
dying..dying with the dream...
knowing i have lost
lost you,
again, and this time
it's real...
