In My Dreams

by Krista Cummings   Sep 10, 2011


I'm going crazy as I wait for your call,
Hoping you'll care, if you think of me at all.
My agonizing days turn to dreaded nights,
As I fear what I'll see behind my eyes.

In my dreams lie a world where I go at night,
Where the world seems perfect, and we are alright.
We walk down the ocean, hand in hand,
Enjoying every memory we make in the sand.

And when night starts to fall, you hold me near,
And whisper sweet nothings in my ear.
We share tender kisses and love through the night,
Wishing we could delay dawn's early light.

But as morning nears, my dream comes to a halt,
I open my eyes, and realize I'm at fault.
For the moments we shared were nothing but a dream,
And I slowly feel myself slipping at the seams.

Each day that I wait for your name to light my phone,
My world turns that much colder, and I feel even more alone.
Because deep in my heart, I know how you feel,
Your love for me... Will never be real.
