ONLY WHEN I SLEEP

Lately, I've been staring in the mirror

Why I keep on seeing your face at my back

What if I take my time to love you anew

Will you comeback to my sweet embrace?

Only when I sleep I depart my thought from you



-----------------------------------------------------------

I walk halfway around the world for just one kiss from you

Far beyond the call of love, the sun, the stars, the moon

As long as you are there to love me I won't lose my way believe me

Even through the darkest night I know

Only when I sleep I resign my memory of you



-----------------------------------------------------------

We met midway in the beautiful tinseltown of the city

We heed-off for a rugged start but our mind is sane enough and smart

We share brilliant ideas over aromatic coffee in a cozy squared walls

But we never discussed nor give a thought of our parting of ways

Only when I sleep my young soul is dying to have you back



-------------------------------------------------------------

Don't wanna try nor dare to lose hope 'tis no way around here

Giving up is when hopes never floats again

And my farsighted eyes finally close for eternal rest

Yet my feelings will stay like a wind smashing your face everyday

Only when I sleep my body temporarily ceases



-----------------------------------------------------------

It's been a short-lived sharing of emotions

A love stint in a swim laps less of a mile

No matter how it started it'll leave an indellible memory that last

In my heart, in my mind it has never resigned

Only in my sleep it turned away like a blind



-----------------------------------------------------------

I may sound crazy or worse be real creepy

My memory never failed of your ecstatic bouyancy

Your mere presence regals even my lit'list fantasy

Your mild mannered personality really strucked the simple me

Only when I sleep it has gone unknowingly

-----------------------------------------------------------

Lastly, Is there a reason for chance to hold on

My desire for you has made me to reckon

Time may be of essence long as it may seem

It'll stop only when you'll signaled to move on

Only in my sleep i'll still keep to hang on
