IN MY DREAMS
When I woke I was crying and I lay awake trying   
To remember if I’d seen him again   
My dreams are so fleeting but the way my heart is
beating      
I am sure that in my arms I held Ben   
I did see him.  I did
hold him.  
In my dreams I can kiss him, when awake how I miss him   
And I hunger so I can feel that touch   
Just saying his sweet name ignites in my heart such a
flame    
It consumes me that I love him so much   
I did see him.  I did
hold him.  
Dreams, like a meeting place, are memories that I embrace
From moments that were once reality
I linger there with a desire that time will not expire
Because waking makes parting misery.    
I did see him.  I did
hold him. 
He is waiting in my dreams
