That's Why They Call Them Dreams

I found a dream I didn't know, a place that I had longed to go
Genuine yet counterfeit, I knew but I embraced it yet
A gentleman, a handsome prince, spoke his words with innocence
Of love like I had never known, with purpose to convince

And I was lost without a care lest voices that would chant Beware!
It felt so great it seemed so good, better than I thought it could
And I would meet him there each day, this place where we would meet to play
And though sometimes I tried, I just could not break away

Lost inside a fantasy, inside this world of him and me
Comforted by words of love and tender touches felt thereof
Feelings I could not ignore, such love I'd never felt before!
I coveted the darkness, so I could dream once more

Into my ear his whispers sweet, talked of when our eyes would meet
Promises of sweet romance, if I would only take a chance
And so began the compromise, I stirred and I began to rise
He whispered, no it is not time, my angel close your eyes

Instead I woke and left that place, tears were flowing down my face
I could not bear reality, I did not really want to see
Oh dream that I'd been lost inside, find me now that I can hide
If only for a moment more until the pain subside

And as I lay to dream once more, just like so many times before
I could not find the place I'd been, but heard a voice from deep within

Awake thy heart and ponder that it isn't as it seems
Be not surprised, did you not know?
