Ever had a dream that felt so real?
A dream, where you could feel his fingertips on your skin,
His arms hugging you around your waist and his lips on yours?
The dream where you didn’t want to wake up,
You didn’t want to move, you didn’t want to come back to reality?

You want to stay asleep,
So you can feel his touch one more time.
His hot breath on your ear as he whispers your name.
You want to feel his hand go down your spine,
And for a minute you think he’s all mine.

If the world is supposed to be so bad, then why am I not complaining?

How I wish I had this dream but it never came T_T. Anyways, I liked this and I think what you said was brief and simple and it you didn't have to go on and on about what you said. You prepared this really nicely and that's all I got to say Lol. Have a nice time on YWS and keep writing.

I really like this poem; its short and sweet but gets the point across just as well. I also like the feeling of waking-up-from-an-absolutely-awesome-dream-and-regretting-it-later that you are trying to convey.
I noticed only one mishap in the tense-use:
DontStopBelieving wrote:You wanted to stay asleep,So you can feel his touch one more time.

Either you can change the "wanted" to "want", or change "can" to "could"-- but since the rest of the stanza is the present tense, I would go for the first one.
Other than that, this poem is really awesome. :D

Lol those kind of dreams are crappy XP This review will be kind of short because I don't have a lot to say XD I liked it and it was sweet and depressing at the same time XD I didn't see any typos so congratulations on that! Keep writing! Sorry, I know this isn't really helpful but I don't really know what else to say XD

Poetry is my cheap means of transportation. By the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield.
