I lay here in my bed
looking up towards the ceiling
my heart so heavy
and crying for yours to touch mine

I close my eyes
I dream you by my side
I cuddle up against my pillow
I pretend it is you

as I press my body up against
and hug it ever so tightly
into the morning
as I try to fall asleep

I bring it up to my face
as i lay there so quietly
and think of you
until I am fast asleep

yet I continue to carry you into my dreams
sometimes I wonder..
if you are just that
a dream I dream of ..
that exists only in my dreams

I know you are so real
cause I could feel you from a distance
when I look out the window and glance up at each shinning star
I just cannot hold the flesh that is yours
from where you are

I know you exist in my dreams
if tomorrow was to bring you to life...

would I continue to be living this dream?
