You almost had me there

For a minute it didn't matter. 

For a minute I didn't care. 

For a minute I was lost in my thoughts.

I was here but didn't know where.

For a moment I was surrounded by nothing ad everything at once.

Almost asleep and per chance.

To dream I was different on the inside and out.

I was looking so happy without worries and doubt.

But the veil of sleep has faded and fallen.

And I am just the same.

Strange and awkward. 

Unhappy and dim. 

How do I come back to that feeling when I'm wide awake?

 Do I see alertness as a mistake?

The minutes are passing and the lines are blurring. 

I want to feel it all while my body's fast asleep.

I want to dream it all while I walk down the street.

To be the girl I always wanted with my eyes wide shut
