Reality Becomes a Dream
Love is a vivid dream,
 only seen, never touched.
 It's like someone dropped a bomb,
 you took it off me, threw it away.
 
 I could be at my last straw, confused, angry, and betrayed.
 Then, when I look into your eyes,
 everything is okay.
 
 I used to think love would send your heart racing,
 beating uncontrollably.
 But, no, when I look at you,
 everything is calm.
 
 You pop out of nowhere, and when you do,
 I feel like dropping everything and running to you.
 I feel nothing: the food, the clothes, the life,
 is worth anything if you are not near by.
 
 I feel bare, empty, and heartless, nothing makes sense to me.
 Then I think, why does this all matter if you don't love me.
 I don't know, 
 but that is why I love you.
