Dream Lover

Last breath of reality
Before my dream begins
A romance destined for fatality
Where my heart never mends

Living out a fairytale
For only a quarter of each day
The pleasure comes with pain
But the pain never goes away.

While i sleep, you remain close to me 
And treat me like your queen
You whisper sweet nothings in my ear
And keep me feeling so serene.

You kiss me like im dying
Like tomorrow is the end
And everyday I'm lying
Telling you you're just a friend

You hold me in your arms so tight
Promising to never let me go
Holding me all through the night
But morning is my foe.

Waking up in disappointment
I feel like the roles have changed
My life seems like a nightmare
The sweetest dream left my life deranged.

My dreams actually seem more real;
It's embarrassing just to admit
Reluctantly trying to share how i feel
Yet i've never felt so adamant.

Dreamlover, if you knew,
Youd tell me its just fine
But thats not what i want from you
I want your love all the time.
