Crazy Dream

I sat on the bed and greeted my friend that I miss,
And she eased slowly my way to give me a kiss.
I quickly moved hoping that she would miss
I closed my eyes clutching the sheets in my fist.

Wake up! Wake up! Is this what it seem.
Wake up! Wake up! This must be a dream.

We're sitting on the sofa watching T.V,
When I notice her eyes were focus on me.
Pure passion in her eyes was all I can see,
As our lips met I wondered, can this be.

Wake up! Wake up! Is this what it seem.
Wake up! Wake up! This must be a dream.

Coming back from war, I entered my house,
Standing there she was, as quiet as a mouse.
It was my friend, who was also my spouse,
Greeting me with a hug, and a kiss on the mouth.

Wake up! Wake up! Is this what it seem.
Wake up! Wake up! This must be a dream.

Now I’m awoke, and thinking crazy things about a friend,
Memories attacked me, about what could of happened back then.
I had to be young, maybe nine or ten.
I dosed off, and the dreams came to haunt me again.

WAKE UP! WAKE UP! Is this what it seem.
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! This must be a dream.
