I go to bed only for my dreams.

In dreams everything is right.

Its the perfect world.

I never want to wake up.

It feel so right with you there.

Reality comes flooding back with being awake.

I lay there for hours.

Wishing I could escape back into that magical place.

Always wishing.

I go through the day, waiting for the night.

When I can escape again,

To that wonderful place.

Only possible in a dream.

You've written the emotions of a love not returned exceptionally well.
Enjoyable read.

Ah, but be wary of nightmares. Enjoyed.

I hear you, Elric, reality is a bummer sometimes.

"An idle longing, night and day
To dream my very life away."

I believe that's how Poe described it.  I know well the felling.

Dreams are nice aren't they, but in my mind, living for dreams is a loss of the reality I could have . . . reality being more stressed and harder to accomplish, but more wonderful in the end.

Enjoyed, my friend,

How well I understand! Reality keeps interfering with life as I'd like it... only found in slumber or daydreams. Great write!
