Between waking and sleeping

I'm afraid,
between waking up and sleeping
I will lose myself in desires.
That you will disappear
before sunrise.
Sleep is not a place
everyday life.
I'm afraid
longing for an unknown longing
I know well
reality of existence.
I'm afraid to be afraid
my feelings
leave without knowing how
taste your lips.

When we are asleep, and in between states, it is another world, a world of strange places, opaque glass vision; and of inverted desires, we all fear loss, it is our human condition, though nothing is permanent. Nice poem, really got me thinking....
