Dream of Me

With a snap of a finger,

my eyes opened wide.

My mind still in a haze,

holding on to the lingering

vestiges of the dream I just had.

My heart ached when I 

realized that the warmth 

from your hand closed

tightly over mine

began to fade away.

Sometimes I wonder,

is it only in dreams 

will we ever meet?

And sleep per chance to dream

So I can see the face I long to touch, to kiss

But only dreams can bring me this

So let the moon shine softly on the boy I long to see

and maybe when he dreams, he'll dream of me.
