A Dream Too Short

I had a dream I was on a ship going to space.
Someone was there with me but I couldn't see a face.
On the ride up I felt nervous and excited.
That fire in my heart felt once again ignited.
When we got into space the ship stopped.
Something in the engine made a pop.
Worried I figured I would be stuck here forever.
But the person on the ship reminded me that we were together.
They held me tight and suddenly I felt calm.
But It made my heart tick like a time bomb.
Suddenly I realized how peaceful it was.
Space seemed so inviting compared to earth's claws.
It didn't last long though.
For it was time to wake up, and the dream had to go.
