When She Is Gone

A dream may be a hope

where it is easier to cope.

On awakening i find

a life of a different kind.

Which one is reality?

and where do i want to be?

It depends on who was there,

a sweetheart or grizzly bear.

In dreams i have a lover

and we dream with each other.

But, after i am awake

I am alone, for goodness sake.

Both life and dreams are delight.

She’ll be in my dreams tonight.
