I Had A Dream Last Night/When I Awoke

I had a dream last night,
That you and dad finally accepted that I’m not straight,
And realized that it wasn’t going to change.

I had a dream last night,
That you asked me what her name was,
And saw my face light up as I talked about her.

I had a dream last night,
That you took me into your arms,
And told me you’d love me no matter how I identified.

I had a dream last night,
But that’s all it was.
A dream.

When I awoke, reality set in.
Reminding me that it was a dream.
Nothing more than a constructed vision of what could be,

but never will.

When I awoke, reality set in.

Reminding me that you'll never accept,

How I identify and who I love.

When I awoke, reality set in.

Reminding me of what happened,

Last time I brought this up.

When I awoke, reality set in.

Reminding me of the looks on your faces,

When I told you the biggest secret of my lifetime.

When I awoke, reality set in.

Reminding me that some things are better left alone,

And that's how they'll stay.

That feeling when you wake up from a good dream, then reality sets in signified my the weird dread feeling that lasts for second then you adjust to your surroundings and thoughts. Really good piece you wrote.
