*Believe me one more time, see it inside these pleading eyes, I care...
Take my hand again, open your heart to me... Hear the words, remember everything... 
Don't abandon what could be... 
See yourself like I do...
And please, please...
Let us feel what is being numbed again...
Don't let what's been found become lost before we finally realize....
Just...please...please...
Whisper that your eyes shine with the same light, that you can't let me disappear...
~Hold me like before, as you keep me from fading...~*

The author's comments:
Basically just like Dreaming, but this is a plea of hope that something will change. I was inspired by just sitting and thinking about my life. Hope you like it and feel free to critisize, and tell me what you like about all my stuff. (:

Like a dream I was captured by this piece. A piece of writing doesnt have to be long to be inspiring and graceful...This is a very beautiful piece! I absolutely adore it!
