The Dreaming

Do you know that you laugh a lot?
And every time you do, time just stops,
Like right now, my heart just went 'pop'.

You can't hear it now, that's okay,
But you're really taking my breath away,
What sorcery are you using that got me swayed?
Is this the day and the way?
God knows, and only you have the say.

That was what I said to her in my dream,
Hello darkness, my old friend,

How have you been?

Don't misunderstand for being buried in the sand,
You know I'd still visit you when the moon rings,
Without having you to guide me with your hand.

Normally, people won't dare to step into the darkness,
But I, the odd one out, love walking in nothingness,
When crickets sing softly with the silence,
And where the wind and leaves collide,
Truly, a paradise for introverts to hide.

However, the state of being nocturnal,
Can prove to be detrimental,
For an illusion can become plural,
Then eventually becoming sempiternal.

But I shall fear no evil,
Even through the darkest valley,
The falling petals will guide me,
And the shepherd refreshes my soul,
Beside quiet waters calming my woes,
And lying down in green pastures,
Instead of having my feelings tortured.

Dusk has gone, here comes dawn,
I'm sorry but I must take my leave now,
No need to show me the door, I know how,
I appreciate your company,
However, I have to go back to my reality,

I'm not sure when will we meet again,

Maybe next time when I'm in pain,

Or perhaps singing in the rain,
But just remember my name,
So you'd always be a part of my sane.

Here I am again looking at you laughing,
No longer dreaming, time's not stopping,
Only you and your smile are all I'm seeing,
Although you're unreachable, that's okay,
Maybe it's better this way,
And that's good enough to make my day.

Hey, I'll be okay (that's what I'd say).
