I woke up today
Desperate to feel your skin
To rub my lips against yours
Feeling both of us come together
Making us one.
With my skin standing end, I woke up
Upon opening my eyes I see you are not here
You made me happy in my dreams
But I must go back to reality
And with it, to my sad life
Knowing that you are not here
What a sweet yet sad ending
I realized that only in my dreams
You made me reach the pinnacle of happiness.
