Unless You are Near
And then I saw you in my dreams at night
Comforting me, we were together, happy
In this realm all is right
It does not bow to propriety.
I now know something is still missing
For these years tried to pretend
If it’s not your lips I’m kissing
To complacency should not bend.
For deep inside the truth I know
That dreams let me know still real
We all need someone to let our love grow
If only in dreams such love can feel.
So, the next place is on this page
Here I can write my heart's own lines
And let what I feel take center stage
Where love can live in these rhymes.
But I will wake up again to realize
Outside of dreams and what read here
I only live in front of your eyes
And life always far unless you are near.
