Dreams are just that....dreams

A blurred image of You in my eyes,
A bit of your voice...a line or two,
And an ocean of memories of days that were
Was what I had treasured all through...

When I'd close my eyes,I'd see You there
I couldn't let You go again this way,
So I'd reach out for You..
But as always You would slowly fade away...

Then I knew the difference between dreams and reality
Everything else was real...You remained a dream
A mirage that frequented my thoughts
Which I could feel but not own it seemed...

And I would wonder why distance didn't matter
And why time had not erased
Even a bit of your presence in my life...
Seasons came and went,but my dream...it stayed.

Then I suddenly found You...
Is it a dream?Or will You stay...
When i reach out to stop You this time
Will You again walk away?

I'm scared to open my eyes this time
I want time to stop...stand still
Lest You disappear like You always did,
I'll be broken more than ever...really will.

Yet I cross my fingers and gather strength
Open my eyes as I whisper a prayer...
You are still standing...the blurred image much clearer
Just tell me I'm not dreaming..and that You'll always be there...
