sometimes i pretend we are sleeping together

sometimes i pretend we are sleeping together

sometimes i pretend
we have fallen asleep at the same time

you
on your side of the world
me
on mine

and in my imaginary sleep
we dream the same dream

we meet
on a crowded dance floor
and waltz among the teeny boppers
who bounce up and down
and stare at us
because we are too old
to be dancing to their sound

they don't realize
they are dancing
to an imaginary song
in an imaginary dream

they don't know
i am pretending
you and i are dreaming
the same dream at the same time

you
on your side of the world
me
on mine
