I was with you during a cold night, I was seated in a chair in the living room... and, focused, I was working with my laptop..
You... you were in front of me, paying attention, and smiling at me like you were trying to say that I am the best man you know... that you want to stay with me forever... That my arms is the exact place you want to be at...
I occasionally realize you, then I smile slightly because I don't want to distract your eyes on me... But I keep working... When suddenly you need to communicate your farewell...
"Oh, no..." My discreet happy smile becomes weak but my heart still warm...
You kindly stand up but I don't look at you to show how sad I am because I need to go...
I want you to stay longer, I want you to be with me...
Why am I still working? My eyes are steady towards the laptop but my heart pays attention to you...
You gently get a blanket and cover my back, involving me with your arms... You kiss my cheek... I can feel your arms, your love, your heart, your kiss... And you say with the most beautiful smile, whispering to me: "Bye, I need to go..."
Oh, please, stay here... I'll stop working, I'll hug you, I'll be with you and we will through this cold night... And we will love each other and be happy because... because we have each other... You love me, I love you... We can love each other and appreciate each other for a couple more minutes, for a couple more days months, years... Or maybe we can love forever...
But, damn it! I try to say it but I can't... My disappointing eyes are still focused on my stupid laptop... You leave but you want to stay...
You cross the door, my mind can't forget your hug... Can't forget you...
I wake up... it was a dream... A dream that I would love to be real...
Was it a dream? Is it trying to say something to me?
My time may be ending with you... I may leave from this place... Will I stay for awhile with you, trying to say what we both might already know, or I'll just have this dream in my mind?
Should I listen to my heart? Should I keep working with my laptop living in the "uncertainty" of my life...
Will I have other chance? Are you willing to me give another chance? Do you really love me? Do you really want me? Am I deluded? Will I be with you or I'll just have this dream?
"Oh it's you I know, you're the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above
Oh I lose control, can't seem to get enough
When I wake from a dream, tell me is it really love
How will I know if you really love me
I say a prayer with every heart beat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you what you know about these things
How will I know if you're thinking of me
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is so bitter sweet
These love is strong why do I feel weak
Oh wake me, I'm shaking, wish I had you near me now
Said there's no mistaking, what I feel is really love
How will I know if you really love me
I say a prayer with every heart beat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you what you know about these things
How will I know if you're thinking of me
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is so bitter sweet
This love is strong why do I feel weak"
