Let Me Sleep

Long kisses in the rain,

soft licks to ease my pain

The gentle glide of your hand,

Soft eyes that understand

An intense gaze into my eyes,

So powerful they hypnotize

Strong arms that can pull me close,

Or hold me back when I lose control

Loving enough to comfort me if I cry,

To see my own pain, in their eyes

Perhaps I am in an endless reverie

Yearning to play a part in a fantasy

To have that connection  fulfilled

To have the ability to have love willed

Waking from such beautiful dreams..

Only to encounter painful reality

If this is only a hopeless thought,

Then my friend, wake me not...

If this is all it can ever be..

Please, oh please..just let me sleep...
