Distant Nightmare

I had a dream last night,
Or maybe it was a nightmare.
Because I dreamt you weren't mine anymore.
I haven't been sleeping too well lately,
I'm always awakened by a distant nightmare.
That has a theme of some sort of lost love or broken-hearted tragedy.
And I remember a time
Where you used to say you wouldn't be able to fall asleep without hearing me say either:
"I love you" or "Goodnight"
But you seem to be sleeping just fine now, my dear.
Without hearing my voice before you drift off into a deep slumber.
And while you're sleeping so peacefully,
I'm tossing and turning,
Watching the hours of the night slip away
While I'm hoping for just a bit of rest to calm my frazzled mind and my worried heart.
I'm telling myself not to care because I can sense you falling out of love with me.
Because you just feel so distant.
And it's ok, my love.
Well, I'll tell myself it's ok.
Because without you my heart will continue to beat,
And through all this pain and heartache,
You would think that my heart would already have been frozen and hardened,
Like the barren winter outside.

...It's looking like another night I'll be drinking my sorrows away...
