Neverland

i hear you calling me in the night
and i wake up holding my phone
saying hello hello
into the static of my dial tone
and then i remember that you're gone

i roll over and go back to sleep
and in the morning she asks me
i heard you in the night
did you have a bad dream

i don't know what she means
because i don't want anything
but for that dream
to still be

I like the last bit, the disguised denial of the reality in favor of the dream.
This one was good, but i wish it wasnt so sad.

dreams and ambitions are but shadows' shadows. But sometimes things get too bright.
I love this one. Sounds kinda like a dream i had once, you know, one of those ones you can't really remember but they seem so so familiar, you just don't know how. You wake up sad cos the dream was sad and then you sort of wake up again, sadder because it was just a sad dream. You captured that emotion well. i'd love elaboration on a similar theme, but this is amazing
