a dream i keep waking up from,
just seconds before you're finally in my arms,
and like a tape recorder on repeat, it sings the same song every single time.
and it always ends, the tenderness, the delicate touches, your soft smile disappear into oblivion
right before you let me love you the way i want to.
i can't tell if it's torture or paradise, having you just for a few seconds before you completely slip away,
those few moments of bliss make up for the incomplete goodbyes,
but the goodbyes are always painful, no matter how many times i've felt it resonate in my mind.
a dream i keep waking up from"
