oh in this dream
oh you're not what you seem
oh I couldn't live without you
in my dreams
but you're not what you seem
cuz you're only in my dreams
you're not what you seem
cuz you won't let me into your dreams
I'm not what I seem
cuz I only live in your dreams
I could live inside this dream
where you're just what you seem
and you learn how to love me.
I could love this dream
if you only loved me
I could love this dream
If you'd only love me.
If you'd only love me
I could live inside your dreams.
You don't want to see
I could make you love me.

Poem explanation:
The poem is about two people, one of whom is the author. For simplicity sake, we'll assume the author is female and the other is male. The author is in a romantic relationship with the male she writes about. The author is describing how both people involved in the relationship are living in their own separate "dreams," and not in the reality that they're not really in love. They both have their own perception of the relationship, and it involes an image of the other person that doesn't really exist in reality. The author realizes that her image of her lover exists only in her "dreams," which is her perception of reality. She in turn is portrayed by her lover as someone she's really not in his "dream." The author is trying to brake through to her lover and make him see that they need to snap out of their dreams and enter reality and learn to love each other as they really are, not these fabricated images they have of each other. She has actually realized that her perception of him was wrong. But her lover is not willing--or just not able--to leave his "dream" perception of their relationship, and alas the author realizes she'll never really be loved by him as the person she really is.
