Just a dream

I look up
as a tear rolls slowly
down my cheek
I think about better days
and wonder if I’ll feel that way again
you look at me;…
With those eyes I know so well
always bright, so deep and so sad
as though you’re always in control
of the situation, but not today
not now.

Now I’m so scared
like for once you don’t have the answer
I gaze at you;…
looking deep into those beautiful eyes
Hoping to understand
why you’ve said those things you did
I wonder for a moment, if you still love me
If this is all a dream, If I shall wake next morning
and be relieved,

You look at me
with a confusion I have never seen
slowly pull me towards you,
and wipe the tears from my cheek,
but, I wake up, crying, thinking that maybe
never that happened,
I look up, as tear rolls slowly
down my check
I can believe what happened to me,
I opened my eyes, oh God
was only a dream!
