A Dream of What Cannot Be.
Date written: December 18, 1998
I feel you here, even when I can't see you
You're the reason I can go on- but can you see me too?
I know someday we'll be together
But I want to see you now... me, who?
Do you hear me laughing?
Do you see my tears?
Do you hear me whisper my hopes, my dreams, my fears?
I know you'll never leave
If you'll ever come here
I know you'd want to stay
If you would just come near.
Your love is more terrifying than my worst nightmare
and more beautiful than my sweetest dream
I'm afraid of what you'd make me feel
Or not - as it would seem
I could lose myself in the heat of your love
I'll die, I know I will
And how do I love you without my breath,
With a heart whose beating stilled?
I feel your heart beating within my own
I look into your eyes and see me.
Your arms encircle my body.
Your kiss, a reality of dreaming.
