[Only in Dreams by Jason Branton]

 

I dream of the day that we can meet
We can sit across from eachother, feet on feet
You brush your hair away from your eyes
Surrounded by onlookers, I despise
Soft lips form words, they float to me
So secretive the other’s cannot see
My heart beats from deep within me
As my stomache churns like the roughest sea
Hearts thumping loud, held back with a leash
Always longing to be..
..the heart you’ll hold in victory
And you say “We shall see”
A future looked onto, so hopefully
But when I awake, it’s only me
Sweat pouring, making it hard to breathe
My heart still beats, it sounds so deep
Forever holding me back from my sleep
