Waking up is a state

As you speak,I hear a gentle song,
You are a place where I belong.
A word, a breath, so soft, I feel,
I reach for you—you're truly here.

Your touch, a whisper on my skin,
It pulls me close, I let you in.
Your eyes, like stars, they catch my gaze,
A perfect light on endless days.

But something shifts, I feel the strain,
The warmth we had begins to wane.
The world around us starts to blur,
I sense you fading, unsure, unsure.

I reach for you—don’t slip away!
But shadows grow and steal the day.
The truth, it breaks, too cruel, too fast—
You were a dream that couldn’t last.

I wake alone, the night now still,
And realize, with aching will:
You were so close, yet worlds apart,
A dream that touched—but missed my heart.
