HOW NOT TO WAKE UP FROM A DREAM

It was May with all the flowers blooming,
He was 8 at the moment.
He was on a stage, watching you watch him.
He was playing the role of an Angel,
Who would have thought?
He’s the naughtiest boy that was brought from heaven.

But you’re the best mother,
Your face is more angelic than anyone, ever.

You smiles at him,
Your eyes are drowning with tears you can’t contain.
It was all joy, I know.

I was sitting far behind you,
But I can hear your heartbeat.
I am 18.
You’re on your 30s.
And you are singing the song,
With the angel singing his song.
The song you have taught him.

My hearts skips eight beat at once,
It has always been my favorite part.

It was May with all the flowers blooming,
I was 8 at the moment.
I was on a stage, watching you watch me.
I was playing the role of an Angel,
Who would have thought?
I am the naughtiest boy that was brought from heaven.
But you’re the best mother,
Your face is more angelic than anyone, ever.

You smiled at me,
Your eyes were drowning with tears you can’t contain.
It was all joy, I know.

I am 18 today,
And you are supposed to be 40.
But you’re all gone.

Since you left,
All my sweet dreams also did.
But I only have this,
Which is on repeat.

Sometimes I ask Father,
How not to wake up from a dream?
But his answers are always tears.

It was May with all the flowers blooming.
I saw you dancing, I saw you laughing.
I saw, too, the gun and how you were falling.

I was 8 at the moment,
But I am 18 now.

Mother, please tell me,
How not to wake up from a dream,
I will save you then.
