In The World of Dreams

Where I'll be keeping you safely now
Is in my world of dreams
Where you don't disappoint me
By thinking that I can be interpreted by
The experiences of those close to me
And that I have become like them
That would make me truly sick
I don't have to be sorry for something I'm not
Here I guard my heart and it can't be shattered
Where the others in my life can't see us
And each time that you look at me
I'll let it feed my private blaze
My pulsing heart is insulated well
So the ice I show outside won't melt
Wearing my secret smile on the inside
And watching you and imagining touch
You won't be any the wiser
Though I hope to leave you wondering
In reality I take things at face value
To the point that I'm bloody naive
So my responses won't give me away
I won't be an open book
Letting you see my secrets
I'll reinterpret our meetings for me
In my own time and space
To feed my ego and lovesick heart
I'll fulfill your expectations
In the best possible ways
I'll keep society happy as well
They'll think I'm really over you
My imagination will be rich
And that's the way it will always stay
Perhaps occasionally I'll betray myself
In very special ways to tease out
A rapport again if it starts to go
If it did heartbreak would start to show
People might think I've slipped
But it will only be occasionally
And I'll be amused by the women
That want you in their life
And I want to watch you chase them
Because you can be such a fool
And I'll watch your responses
As I begin to learn to flirt
Because I never did know how
I love the way that you are
Whether you look at me or not
Whether you talk to me or not
When you put your feet up on a chair
I just hate it when you turn your back
And how that makes me feel
Because although I wish I didn't
There's no denying now, I love you
And I'll never disappoint you
