Dreaming With Eyes Wide Open Poem by Fatin Khalid

From the very first time
It was the very first moment
My heads started weaving a memory

Pictures of you floating in front of my eyes
Blurring my visions of reality

Though you were million miles away
I felt you near
As it is the only feeling I know

I saw you with me
The look of love lighten up your beautiful smile

You came to me in dreams
You came to me in my fantasies
Never had a moment felt so sure
Never had I felt so loved

Despite all odds
Against all obstacles
You stayed with me with all your heart and soul

You gave me your everything
Never asking anything for return
All you wanted was for me to love you so
And I willingly gave you my love
I confessed it all to you
You held my hand and took me to places I've never known
You took my hand and never let it go

My eyes laid open wishing it all come true
My heart stayed broken as they always do
How can I ask so much from you
How can you love
Someone you never knew

But I stay dreaming of you in silence
Sitting, wishing, waiting for you
Hoping you can hear in the distance
My voice calling your name
And see my dreams of us
Seeing my dreams unfolding
Seeing them come true
