When I'm asleep

This is a poem, once again about love, but love lost, not received.

She talks to me when I’m asleep
With her words I begin to weep
She tells me she loves me,
She tells me she cares
But when I wake up
She is no longer there.

I wish I could see her
Just one last time,
To hold her close to me
To have her be mine

I know it’s a lot to ask
I know that it’s not fair
But how can I not love her,
How can I not care?

She is so special to me
She is my heart and soul,
I wish that I could hold her
Until we both grow old

How can I make it work?
How can I make it right?
How can I be with her forever?
Every day and night

The answer is simple
It cannot possibly be,
How can I still love her
When she does not love me?
