Once Upon a Nightmare

As I close my eyes I linger slowly to sleep. As I fall into this world of dreams. I see you face once again. There you are once more in my arms as we dance. Your lips press softly upon mine as the passion flares. Once more our song plays in the background. Once more I sweep you off your feet. So light as we dance upon the floor. Our eyes meet the song comes to an end. I place a rose in long beautiful hair. Your smile is like a gift that warms my smile as it spreads upon your face. Your eyes change color from the glare of the moon as they shine. To hear your heart as it sings in a loud song as I melt. Once more a kiss upon your lips before I awake. But to open my eyes an realize its too late. Waking up in disapointment to see you aren't by my side. To only cry and wish I still had you here.
