Am I Real?

I love to watch you
Even as the blazing sun strides the heavens
But you'll never see me

A soft touch, a hushed whisper, a quiet footstep are all that you'll know

As the day fades, sleep will call you away but I will remain

Then it is night
Walls are barriers but dreams are doorways

Seeing your features relaxed in sleep brings a sigh to my throat
You stir as I approach
"Hush my sweet" I whisper as I gently stroke your silken cheek
I can feel the warmth of your smile through the darkness
Later I hold you close and keep the nightmares away

Moonlight transfixes our embrace illuminating the room with a soft glow
Your eyes flutter and you awaken

But no one is there, or was there ever anyone 

On the night of the full moon dreams do walk,
wishes are granted and there is magic.
