Living in a Dream by Stina

(Disclaimed: 'Living in a Dream', One More Time)

It has to be a dream

When I wake up here beside you

You sleep so peacefully

Just how happy can two people be?

You're lying here so close

I can hear your gentle breathing

Your love's my favourite theme

Are we living in a dream?

It's wonderful to see

How the morning fog is lifting

The night will soon be gone

As darkness slowly turns to dawn

A chilly morning breeze

Sweeps around us while you slumber

I snuggle up to you

I can feel my dreams come true

Moments of pleasure

A calm embrace when day is done

Moments to treasure

We've only just begun

There's wealth beyond compare

In the love we share together

Affections reign supreme

When we're living in a dream

I wake up in my dream

And you're there with me to share it

I give your cheek a kiss

And I can't believe I found such bliss

I'm right here by your side

I can hear your gentle breathing

I'm proud to be with you

I can feel my dreams come true

Moments of pleasure

A calm embrace when day is done

Moments to treasure

We've only just begun

There's wealth beyond compare

In the love we have together

How fragile love can seem

When we're living in a dream

I'll be here by your side

As we gently breathe together

Affections reign supreme

Are we living in a dream?

The window stood open wide and the curtains were fluttering slightly in the soft wind that was breezing through them.

The sun had just risen and the first rays were creating glittering patterns on the white sheets.

Darren was awake. He was lying on his stomach, his chin rested on his hands.

He was just looking. Looking and admiring.

Daniel was still asleep. Lying on his back, eyes still tightly closed, mouth slightly open. He was breathing softly, and Darren's eyes wandered over his chest, watching how it rose and lowered with every breath. He smiled to himself. What a wonder of nature a human being was, and how much more wonderful especially this one.

His eyes moved higher, watching Dan's neck, his throat. Instinctively he searched and found the spot where he could see Daniel's skin pulsating, where he could see his heartbeat.

"I love you." He whispered. "You know that, but you can't imagine how much."

He saw Daniel's eyes moving behind his eyelids. 'He is dreaming...' He thought. 'Are you dreaming of me? Oh, please... Dream of me...'

Daniel moaned softly, moving his head from one side to the other, then back again. And then he smiled in his sleep.

Darren's eyes were full of love. "My darling..." He whispered.

He raised one hand and reached out slowly to touch Daniel's cheek. His fingers stopped only millimetres above his skin. He could already feel the warmth. He hesitated like someone who is allowed to touch something incredible precious and does not dare to

He drew back his hand and crawled forward, brought his face nearer, closed his eyes and listened to Daniel's breathing.

"I could do this forever." He thought. "Just lie here and guard your sleep."

The minutes passed, but Darren didn't notice. He was too captured by his feelings, by the sight in front of him.

Would he wake if he was to touch his cheek with his lips just... lightly... like a breeze

It would feel like... like brushing a peach with your lips softly...

He could not resist any longer. Warm and full lips touched soft skin tenderly.

Darren held his breath.

Sleepy eyes with long lashes opened. Large green eyes smiled at Darren.

"Good morning, my love."
