I Dreamed You Last Night

I dreamed you last night… I dreamed you last night, soft and slow, You held me close, whispered “don’t let go”. Your blue eyes lit the quiet room, Like fragile light fighting endless gloom. We sat there on your bed, just us two, No noise, no world, no need for truth. Then out of nowhere, something changed… I grew my wings… and flew away. You grabbed my hand, you pulled me near, Said, “Stay with me… don’t disappear”. And I swear I felt you holding tight, Even when I woke to morning light. If it was just a dream, then tell me why… It still feels closer than real life. I hear your voice inside my day, Like it never went away. If I left you in that night… Why are you still here in my mind? You asked me softly, “Do you care?” I told you truth was always there. You smiled like nothing could go wrong, Like I was where I still belong. But even then I felt the fall, Like I was never yours at all. Something pulling me away… Before I even chose to stay. You held me close, you wouldn’t see, There’s parts of me you couldn’t keep. And I swear I felt you holding tight, Even when I woke to morning light. If it was just a dream, then tell me why… It still feels closer than real life. I see your face in everything, In every word I try to sing. If I lost you in my sleep… Why is it waking me so deep? Maybe dreams don’t let us lie, Maybe they show what we hide. Maybe I was passing through… But something deep inside me stayed with you. And I swear I feel you even now, In every breath I won’t allow. To fade away, to let it go… You’re in the things I’ll never show. If I could turn that night around, I’d stay right there, I wouldn’t run. But I woke up… and you were gone… Still I feel you all day long. I dreamed you last night… And I haven’t woken up from you…
