Bitter-Sweet Dream

You take over my dreams,
How I never want to awake,
Because close is what you seem,
For you I can take.

I can almost feel your lips,
I can almost feel your breath,
I can almost feel your warm skin,
I can almost feel your perfect body.

My dream comes to an end,
You have slipped from my grasp,
Oh how I feel that shattering pain,
Please love, for you I yearn,
My never ending love I send,
For I know these days will pass,
And my ache can be tamed,
But how these days burn.

I can't stop this cycle,
You hold the power,
I can't make it slow,
You hold the power,
I can't end the bitter-sweet dream,
You hold the power,
I can't hold out much longer,
You hold the power, love.

But how I know,
When I open my eyes,
In all of your splender,
You, before me, will truly reside,
Then I will cry out of past woe,
For the dreams will dimize,
The dreams will surrendor,
Because I will finally feel you inside.
