Dreams Or Reality

The warm tingle down my spine, tell tale signs of a slight tan.
Freckles burst forth as flowers do, is it a dream or is this how I am?

Rolling down the grassy knoll, paddling in the stream.
Daisy chains loop round and round, or is this all a dream?

Running jumping like the deer, nuzzling softly on your chest.
Will I wake and find in fear, Tis not you, but just a dream at best?

To separate dreams from reality, this is hard to do.
Because my reality is a dream, when I am with you.
