In My Dreams

In my dreams I see your face
Smiling softly and as beautiful as ever
Your fingers twining with mine and I wish they would stay
They disappear as soon as my eyes open but remain like a slow burning ember
As if you could be there through memory.

In my dreams I always get so close
To telling you how I feel, how my heart beats unevenly
When you're in my arms, reminding me of a freshly bloomed rose
But I always wake up too soon; your face fades slowly
Though I can feel the phantom of your lips on mine.

In my dreams I lift your chin as your head hangs
If I promised to find you, would you wait for me?
All others said yes and didn't, would you give me a chance,
Beautiful, amazing, star of my dreams?
If given the opportunity I can show you that I can love you.

Can a heart always be broken,
Or can the one person who keeps it alive
Make it whole again
If you just let them try?

Maybe.
