DREAM

DREAM

When I dreamt of you last night
A dream so vivid, so real-life
A single prayer I addressed to God--
I asked Him to never awaken me
To let me sleep for all eternity

You see, my dearest, only in my dream
Am I able to bridge the deep ravine
To cross the chasm that keeps us apart--
Only in my dream do I rise a hero
A knight in shining armor to rescue you

But fleeting a moment a dream is
A burst of flame soon extinguished
Just a dying ember to mark its place--
So does a dream do not for long survive
Yet, it is only where I can cling on to your love
