Real to me

What keeps me up at midnight
The silence that creeps inside
The racing beats of my heart
And the thoughts of you that won't subside

I asked myself why I think of you at this hour
But I guess I really don't mind
To see your face imprinted in my thoughts
Even when I close my eyes

Sometimes I prefer to see you in my dreams
Only because you're more real to me
In life, I am too afraid to be myself with you
But here in my imaginary space
I can be whoever I want to be
Without fear without complication
Just you and me

I wish I was real to you
As you were real to me
You'll always have a special place in my heart
Although, you'll never know who I am
Because you're just a dream to me

You'll never know I watch you from afar
You'll never know that you'll always be safe wherever you are
I'll be like an angel
Except living on earth
As real as I can ever be

I don't mean to scare you
I don't mean to be lurking in shadows
Hoping one day you'll talk to me
But for now knowing you're safe is enough

Even though I dream
Dream to be yours
Dream to be real to you as you are real to me
