Don't Tell Me Poem by Ray Hansell

When you close your eyes
Tell me who you see
Is it someone else?
Or are you seeing me?

At night when you dream
Am I your fantasy?
Or, is there someone else?
That you see instead of me

I always see you in my dreams
When I do I know I smile
I always want to see you there
You make my dreams worthwhile

I love you when you're asleep
I love you when you're awake
Because with you I get to share
Every new dawn that breaks

When you close your eyes
Don't tell me who you see
Especially if that someone
Turns out not to be me
