awake and dreaming

[PuddleOfEmotion]

By my bedside, I keep this bud; unbloomed,
I lay, stare and dream of when it flowers.
And as I gaze outside up at the moon,
I fantasize about our finest hour.

The stem is dipped into a crystal vase,
in hopes of giving precious petals life.
I'm frozen when remembering the taste,
of your lips when kissing you goodnight.

Below the nights dark sky I stay awake,
wish you would bloom before the sun is come,
and brings with it the tempting devil snake,
to which my innocence will soon succumb.

I see the reality of my dreams,
when in your eyes I find that soulful gleam.

The soothing content that fills me inside,
as I lay on your couch watching nothing.
I pivot my head, your eyes catching mine,
and I know that we're both feeling something.

The thought of a kiss stays stuck in my brain,
but I can't seem to get myself to move.
There's something about you that drives me insane
I feel as if there's something I must prove.

And as I walk out your door to my car,
I wish I could say goodbye forever.
For when in that moment, love seems unfar,
and my conscience turns into a feather.

I see the reality of my dreams,
when in your eyes I find that soulful gleam.
