i lay here awake
as you sleep thousands of miles away
i bring this cigarette to my lips
and my hand shakes
i watch as the light and smoke
engage in a silent intimate dance
the smoke swirls around me
and i'm pulled into a world
a dream world in my mind
i smile as i think of you
and all the things you do that make my soul dance
dance with the smoke and the light
making a whirlwind of perfection
in an instant the cigarette is out with a protesting sizzle
as i drop it into the make-shift ashtray-a can of old pepsi
i switch off the light
and i'm pulled into the dark
dark where you are not
this is my favorite time of the night
when i can close my eyes and dream
to make you real
make you real..
