Oasis

Not knowing the end or the beginning of its existence,
This dream lives in my heart that I know
I cannot say that it is old, for it refreshes me day to day giving me a new hope and yearning for the tomorrow that runs through my heart and lives in your soul.
I cannot say that it is new for I do not know the world without it.
In your eyes awaits my Oasis.
Please don't tell me that it is an illusion in this desolate desert.
I'd rather die striving to arrive there.
Do I step forth only to find that the distance remains the same?
Let me sleep to live in this dream rather than die in this cold awakening.
