My Dream

I came home and went to sleep
I closed my weary eyes
Dreams began to come to me
But this was no surprise

A man, he was standing there
Like he has done before
I've had this dream many a time
And each night, I want it more

He speaks to me, whispers my name
My heart picks up the time
I look up to where he stands
Shivers rack my spine

His arms are open, welcoming
A smile lights his face
We close the distance quickly
And softly, we embrace

We hold each other in our arms
And whisper words of love
It seems as if the angels
Have come down from above

I tilt his head, to see his eyes
Deep and bright and blue
And run my hands through his hair
A lovely crimson hue

Then comes my favorite part
When we exchange a kiss
But this never comes to pass
It's what I always miss

Just before our lips do meet
He starts to fade away
There is nothing I can do
To try and make him stay

I wake up, a tear in my eye
And an empty space in the soul
It's so hard to have the dream
Then have to let it go

But every night, as I lay down
I hope it comes again
And, perhaps, when it does
Then I will see it end
