MY DREAM

MY DREAM

I see you standing beneath the tree, the skies are dark

It’s cold and the rain washes away any care I had before I saw you

You know I’m there, you feel my soul, my heart’s spark

I shiver, I grow anxious, I cannot contain my thoughts of you

The closer I get my heart beats hard, it feels as if this is something brand new

I know it’s you, just you, no one else but you

The thoughts start rushing back, all the feelings of before, before when we were much more

Before when you were the person before now, the person you were but not the person you are now

Even though now I love you more than I did before, we’ve grown so much, too much for the heart to disallow

You look up at me with those eyes, those ever optimistic eyes

Like a little child, the innocence of us I must confide

It seems like a never ending dream, but I cannot reach you, we do not collide

I see you fading away, the rain has stopped and suddenly the skies are clear

I walk faster and faster, I’m afraid to look up it might just be my biggest fear

You were once in the distance so close that I could actually grasp your very being

But you are where you are now, not where you use to be, you are but a dream to me
