Rich Mansfield's "Just A Dream" is a list of wishes, nearly every line starting with "I want." The speaker misses a partner and imagines the small, close moments of waking up beside her: her skin, her breathing, her heartbeat against his chest, the smell of her hair. The title suggests that none of this is happening right now, so the tenderness is tinged with absence.
What stands out is how ordinary the details are. He doesn't dream of grand gestures. He wants her smiling in her sleep, hopes she's dreaming of him, and pictures her saying she hasn't brushed her teeth yet while he leans in anyway. Her messy "bed shaped hair" and her dancing across the floor in her underwear are affectionate, playful touches. The mood is warm, romantic and a little wistful. The repeated "I want" gives it the feel of a quiet, heartfelt confession, and the last lines show that being near her only makes his longing stronger.
