I dream of you at night,
And I wake up crying.

I dream of your arms around me.
Holding me close.
Like you'll never let me go.

I dream of your voice in my ear.
Like soft velvet.
Telling me that everything will be okay.

I dream of your love for me.
Like a bonfire.
Passion and warmth, life's blood.

And when I wake up,
I'm alone in bed.
It's quiet, and I'm cold.

The tears run down my cheeks,
Like blood from an open wound.
I am wracked with quiet sobs.
...The ones that make the world end.

And I know that you hear me.
Because you have a part of my heart,
Locked away in your soul.

I am bound to you,
With silk and satin,
Stronger than steel.

I know that tonight,
I won't sleep again.
I will lay here, crying.

The only thing that helps,
Is that somewhere else,
You're dreaming of me.
And I don't feel so alone.
