Then I Wake Up

I had a dream with us touching again
No kiss on the lips, I want you as a friend 
A friend who’s on top and is pushing my buttons 
Forwards and backwards, your pace seems to stutter 

I had a dream with you entering me 
Just like I wanted, but why can’t I breathe? 
Your gaze seems so dazed, your eyelids are hooded 
You’re staring at me but you’re not really looking 

You mutter something, your voice drops an octave 
Your hands on my waist let me know that I locked it 
I lead you to nowhere, get under the covers 
But then I wake up missing my selfish lover
