Even At Night I'M Awake

Even at night, I'm awake...
it has become a nightmare
for an unconscious mind like mine:
you appear and then disappear
with a sad look, I call you,
but you don' hear.

When I first ran into you
I couldn't wait for the minute 
to make you like me
and afterward, consider you mine;
it all began with a sympathetic,
uncertain smile, perhaps too 
romantic for two who never met
before and wanted to tell inner feelings
of each other and how they felt.

Even at night, I'm awake...
chasing my doubts away,
greeting the illusion of fantasy...
that it would be gracious to me,
not allowing shadows to darken or hide dreams,
but rather sharing them together for our sake;
even at night, I'm awake...
wondering where it leads.
