I squinted in the night, scared to open my eyes
You were lying there, between my eyelashes
Breathing, really breathing.
If I stay awake,
Stay awake,
How long can I stay awake?
So this dream doesn't end.
Too good to be true
I wrapped my arms around, but not too tight,
If I squeezed you, you might feel me and wake up
And realise
So I just count your heart beats
Take a sharp quiet breath, to bring mine into rhythm with yours
Beat, after beat for hours
Not too loud though
Please don't wake from my dream.
Too good to be true.
Creeping through my veins,
Sunlight in my heart.
If I could just stay here, if you could just stay here
My mind and heart electric
Forever.
I'd say yes to forever.
Wake up, wake up!
You said.
This is real, please open your eyes
We gazed right in.
Our chests filled and overflowed.
I crawled in from the storm,
Straight into your arms.
The morning flooded in.
You closed your eyes. And disappeared
And I was left there with mine.
Wide open. Awake.
Alone.
Too good to be true.
I knew it was too good to be true.
I try to sleep, to find you again.
But recurring dreams are just nightmares.
That's the catch with dreaming.
Just the memory of being lit up
Leaving it darker than before
Too good to be true.
But I'll keep closing my eyes.
Every night the stars come
They are soldered to my soul.
Little hope lights.
