Dream vs Reality

I turned left, then right, then left again.
Something was not letting me sleep,
somewhere, some part was in pain.

But what was that? I should not think about it now.
All I wanted was a few hours of sleep somehow.
Again turned right, this time with an urge,
An urge to dial your number.

Phonebook...search...A..B..K...
with trembling hands I reach till Z.
Pain with a tinge of sorrow and a pinch of fear
made me forget your number.

And as I checked the number dialed last,
memories flashed from the past.
Everytime I couldnt sleep or was up from some dream,
I would dial your number fast.

Sleep...Sleep...I forced my brain,
Turn left, turn right...but don't think of this again.
And lo! suddenly my eyes open
to realize that it was all a dream.

Yes, it had to be a dream - a second later I thought
because in reality there's no 'you' and no 'your number'..!!
