In My Dreams

Imagine it.

Us together.

I picture it all the time

You're always in my dreams

You & me.

We are best friends

WE're holding hands

The happiness overwhelms me

But I awake & it's me you hate

Goodness I wish to live is my dreams.

One day you're here,

The next you are gone

At this point I'm barely holding on

Can you see me?

Do you see that I'm faking a smile?

Maybe you could, but only in my dreams.

In reality, you don't see me

My face never even comes to mind

You don't care how much I struggle,

How much I wish I could change your mind

But wishing is really all I can do

When I'm in my dreams

I know everything will be okay

My mind is set at ease

Out there life is far too scary

& I don't know what to do

Even still, I want to be awake

Because in my dreams it's never real

Maybe I'm coming to, or maybe I'm dreaming

now I can see clearer than before

No matter how much I wish it, you're not mine

So I will keep my head above water

& in my dreams I will keep the vision of us.
