You Haunt Me

I hear you call my name,
While I sleep at night,
It sounds so sweet,
To my minds distant flight,
I want to tell you to leave,
To say goodbye,
But the sight of you there,
Just makes me want to cry,
You pull me in your arms,
And tell me it's ok,
But I wonder will this night fade into day,
Will you still be here when I awake,
Or will you still have my heart to take,
So as I wake up,
And I'm hit by a ray of sunlight,
I realize this memory of mine,
Only exists in the darkness of night.
