Can't Tell The Difference

By shadowsinthelight

Why are you in my dreams

Stay out of my dreams

They are mine

Yes, they're all mine



Why are you in my thoughts

Stay out of my thoughts

You're in my mind

You are on my mind



No, I

Don't need to fall in love

No, I

Don't want to fall in love



What are you doing in my dreams

What are you doing in my thoughts

I

Feel

So

High


The heart can't tell the difference

Don't know the difference . . .

Between fantasy and reality

Reality and fantasy



I don't believe that

I can't conceive that

You will ever be

A part of me



I don't conceive that

I can't believe that

You will ever be

In love with me



But it may be too late

I feel like I'm falling

It could be too late

I feel like I'm flying



I can't tell the difference

Don't know the difference . . .

Between want and reality

Between need and fantasy



So, get out of my dreams

Vacate my dreams

I don't want to fall in love



So, stay out of my dreams

Please leave my dreams

I don't need to fall in love

With a dream

No, no . . .

Not with another dream

    Are dreams just another form of reality? If we see nothing and know nothing, can we still dream of that which we have never experienced?... Good write.
