A Dream I'm Not

you say I'm like a dream to you.

am I nothing but?

you say I'm like a dream to you.

I can promise you Im not.

you made me laugh.

you made me smile.

you looked into my eyes.

you could hold me.

you could smell me.

you could barely walk away.

but did you?

you listen to my secrets.

you hear me when I cry.

I know you feel this pain.

so real.

you can put this quiet between us.

it doesn't change a thing.

you'll feel me forevermore.

still sitting right there inside you.

surreal? perhaps.

so real? promise.

but just a dream? Im not.
