It feels so real.

I kiss his gentle lips,
Tasting his spearmint gum.
The kiss that I've drempt of a thousand times.
The kiss I've cried over two thousand times,
Because it usually only occurs in a dream,
Like it has for the thousand and first time.

I awaken,
Only to once more cry until morning,
Because I used to only see him at school,
Just walked by in the hallway,
Then, out-of-site out-of-mind.
Now, when I see him,
He stays in my mind for the next three hours,
Refusing to leave,
But also refusing to allow me to get closer.
Until I finally do catch him,
And then I kiss his gentle lips,
Tasting his spearmint gum.
Then, I awaken,
Only to once more cry until morning,
Because this kiss,
Will forever stay as only a dream.
