Dreams Don't Fade

when my heart chokes up,
and eyes turn misty,
when i beg to see you again,
and don't see for days,
and fancy you yearning too,
and, wonder if i'm in your thoughts,
a ray of smile still lights up,
in the corner of my lips,
even if my thoughts
don't keep you up,
it's still about me

whatever you say,
dreams don't fade

sometimes, as i wonder
if the dreams we weaved
still keep you awake,
as they don't let me sleep,
and many kindle many more,
i know, one thing's for sure,
the only dreams you saw
were the ones with me

however much you deny, baby
dreams don't fade

when your thought tugs
at my heartstrings,
and the wait is endless,
and the days run into weeks,
and the months into years,
it's painful, here
it tears apart, there too.
how i wish
you don't miss us,
i will pull it off, somehow,
not getting to see your smiles,
or, not hearing your voice
for days,
but you?
i can't not be around,
when you're in tears 
without me!

your heart may not tell mine again, sweet,
but, dreams don't ever fade
