I'd Swear It Was Real

I received a text message saying, "Billy shot himself".
I dreamt that I woke up and read it and it was true.
I was still dreaming.
It's been almost twenty four hours since I had this dream, yet it is still on my mind.
I'd swear it was real.

It doesn't matter how hard I try the kid still seems to ponder around in my mind.
We don't speak anymore besides the ocassional posts on Facebook, but I still worry about him.
I swear I woke up and I thought he really had shot himself.
I thought he was dead.
I woke up worried and concerned.
It was just a dream though.
