don't dream.
love is for saps
what is it, love
at first sight?
well, is that right
if this were true it would have hit us both
knocking us back, off our feet
whispering secret lullabies in the comforting
cradle of night
pondering a hypothetical
like it is a reality
I was too afraid to dream
the lines blurred
the shirt off your back and a glow
like I've never experienced
but what can you expect when a forbidden dream
is staring you in the face
the challenge is presented
I failed
if it was love, like I felt it
you would be compelled to
reciprocate
to love me
like I deserve
a liquor fueled saturday evening could suffice
but I dreamed it just right
this wasn't what I woke up smiling to
perfection, I don't believe I aim too high
I am realistic, to a fault
I chase, wait and stay
the memory, the actuality
waking up is never easy
I don't want to pull myself from the dream
don't want to pull myself from you
