My palms are sweating, my heart is beating
furiously,
When you are breathing so close to me,
As your sweet touch brushes my cheek,
I can almost believe that is wasn't a dream.

How could you be so close that I could touch,
But I am stopped by the walls that we built up,
I stumble into loss's clutch,
Because everything you have is never enough.

It fills me with a deep agony
That our dreams cannot become reality,
when i open my mouth to speak,
Our walls stop me and my pain goes on endlessly.

Things are difficult and dreams just make it worse sometimes, but the strange thing is, dreams are the only things that keep us living.
