Strict Sleep
You were waiting for me there
I couldn't come out
My dad is strict, I'm
Afraid he might combust
You waited for more hours
There in the backyard
With flies and mosquitoes
You felt no discomfort
I was conscience-smitten
For me to let you wait there
Finally I decided to meet you
I went out not even caring
The glance that my father had given
I was suprised that nighttime
Has not arrived yet
You stood from sitting
I offered my hand and you held them
It was hard and calloused
It was a very strong grip
But I let you and
we both smiled because it was hidden
From the view of my strict father
Who went knowing that I would
Only send you home
we walked towards somewhere
We arrive at the bus stop
With busy and noisy streets
I told you it was goodbye
I turned and went home
But I was still conscience-smitten
So I decided do get dressed
And follow you somewhere
We went and I was shocked
That I did not even care
What my strict father would say
If he finds out about what I did
I was afraid that my neighbor would
Say mean things about me
That I was being a flirt
When I let you hug me tight
We arrived at the place
where your friends are at
We had a fiery argument
But I have no idea how it started
All I know was I have been holding back
My feelings and my emotions
For I was afraid what
my strict father would say
If he founds out that I am
Tied to you affectionately
I sat at the bench
And your friend approached me
Saying how you really love me
And how you wanted me
To love you back
The friend told me to wait for you
You have an urgent thing to say
I sat there in the bench
With my phone in my hand
Waiting for you to arrive
Until I came realized
That everything was just
A lucid dream.
You felt real when you held my hand
But you weren't there when I woke up.
