Something To Dream About And Hold On To Poem by Jeremy Willson

What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Could you be able to tell from my facial cues
That I'm in love without a sense of direction
We're just two kids trying to have a little bit of fun
In this crazy life of ours, what's better than excitement?
We can talk all day and stay up all night
I'd be happy laying next to you until you fell asleep
I'd stare at your cute freckles and start to count sheep
I would plead to God for a moment of rest
So it could be like I dreamed, that'd be the absolute best
I could hold your hand while you slept
I'm the gate keeper of sleep so your dreams I'd protect
I'd make no sounds or sudden moves
For fear that if you wake your lips my presence reproves
I need to be by your side, or at your feet
That's hard to say because I don't want to seem weak
But it's true I trust you to catch me if I fall or falter
You surround me with warmth like the rushing water
Of a long hot shower, and your voice soothes me
That might seem like a stretch but I swear it's not a hyperbole
I need you, so say you need me too
I promise I'll make those old dreams seem like something new
Something you'd want to hold on to, too
