Only, In my dream

I saw you watch me as I slept
You dreamt wide awake of us
In a different time and place, in a life not ours
I felt your lips on my cheek, as you whispered
I love you
In my dream, your lips felt warm, and those words meant everything
I saw the way you spoke with your eyes
Words you won't say out loud
In my dream, you confessed your darkest secret, your deepest fear
As I slept you held me tight, and said, don't leave me
In my dream you said, I'll never leave you, never stop loving you
I smiled, warmed by the thought of undying love
In my dream, we were blissfully unaware of reality, happy in fantasy
In my dream, I awoke to you, asleep, smiling, dreaming, happy dreams
