I saw him in my dreams

I saw him in my dreams,
as my eyelids fell shut,
and i stepped into a world,
a world i didn't trust.

A stranger in this world i was,
as i walked through the darkness,
crying out so hopefully,
for a light within the darkness.

Then, as the forest cleared,
and i saw the moon in full,
there standing on the hilltop,
was a boy, with eyes as bright as the stars above.

I then gasped in the cool night air,
and my legs began to shake,
as the boy smiled down to me,
his hand outstretched for me to take.

I stumbled forward, carelessly,
it didn't matter where i was,
because the boy was standing there,
ready to catch me as i fell.

He took my hand and held it,
as we both fell to the ground,
then he hugged me tight,
as if protecting me from his world.

I looked at our hands together creating a soft yellow glow,
then turned my gaze to him,
and whispered
'Please never let go.'

Then tears began to fall down my cheeks,
as he turned to me and replied,
with three words that had me crying for weeks, the words
'I love you.'

Then suddenly i was torn from him,
as the darkness flooded around me,
and i was pulled back into the cruel world,
called reality.

Yes i saw him in my dreams that night,
the tears still sting my eyes,
and my heart will never heal,
because this world is full of lies.
