A Soul Awakened

As I fall asleep, I exit one world only to enter another.
I dream each night of a man I never really see.
Within a crowd of faceless people, I know he's not too far.
What seems like a game of hide and seek, we finally do embrace.
It's an unexplainable feeling that we've met in our past life.
Even though his face isn't clear, he illuminates of his love.
I'm captured by his electric blue aura overriding my own.
It feels like two souls have met and has become as one.
As quickly as we embraced, we've parted in my dreams.
My soul has awakened within the light of dawn, wondering...

Can dream souls ever meet in their waking state,
Or only within realities of their dreams?
