Figment

Without you, there is no sleep
With sleep, there is no you
With you... would I sleep?

You are haunting
my waking hours
You are becoming real
far too soon for me
You who are not really you
but a figment of me.

I dreamed you
and you woke before me
And when I fell asleep again
you stayed awake beside me.

And you?
What are you thinking?
I forgot to ask -
