I wake each morning in search of where you are, 

My dreams it seems has taken me to a far away star, 

Or is reality my existence in a world beyond bazaar, 

Dream states are non-real or perhaps they really are, 

My eyes are deceiving me,” I think, in this world I’m in, 

For there at my side is you, if so, let my life here begin, 

Don’t wake me, I scream out to anyone that is within, 

Then with startling clarity I realize I’m the one I’m in, 

To begin could be a leap forward or it can be a slow toe, 

Inched forward with caution as if, it’s afraid to move slow, 

If I wake from a dream state to find you then I will know, 

The world I seek is closer to real as long as in it, you show, 

But to awaken without you near brings dreamt fear, 

Dreamt fear can be so real that it brings death near, 

However if you are anywhere near I hope I see you clear, 

And if you whisper bring close your lips that I may hear,

To explain my life dream is to explain me as I am today, 

A dream to me is not a dream if you are here to stay, 

No matter if a dream or reality you’ll remain if my way, 

My existence, my life, if labored is worth the dues I pay, 

Decay of life is now within my frame to forever remain, 

For you, I will endure anything if but another moment I gain, 

A bolt of lightening was the flash of light used to ingrain,

Your image so beautiful is more than a memory in my brain, 

Perhaps you left dreams to become the girl of my dreams, 

Since I was but a small boy you’ve forever been there it seems, 

Once in a dream I met you, then upon a vessel of light beams, 

Then to crawl through the opening of reality to exit my dreams, 

From the vessel of light I crawled through what wasn’t a door, 

It could not be more right as there I stood on the second floor, 

Though we couldn’t unite at that time we belonged forevermore, 

I embraced love and lept into love with you, the one I so adore.
