Have you ever seen someone in passing,
and thought nothing of it?
Until one day they put a spell on you,
as they stared deep into your soul.
So deep down that your thoughts always go back to that moment,
And how to recreate it so you can feel that moment of ecstasy again.
Because I'm here to tell you it's happened to me,
and I really must warn you,
Don't fall into the darkness,
all it'll ever be is a dream.

In my dreams I picture us,
Laying together,
But never sleeping through the night.
My fingers run through your long curly hair,
As you stare deeply into my soul.
You claw at my back,
As my body arches in pleasure,
You let a faint groan slip out.
I feel a faint breeze coming from the open window,
As we bathe together in the moonlight,
We hear the city that never sleeps below us.
You grab my neck and choke me,
As waves of pure ecstasy surge through me,
I bite my lip to prevent myself from making a sound.
I feel your love in the darkest parts of my soul,
And then I wake and realize it's only a dream.
The one thing that doesn't change is what I crave,
Just You and Me.

Waterlogged pages litter the floor,
Her teeth,
Coffee stained.
All from the many jittery and sleepless nights,
Crying onto the ink filled pages,
Trying to write the perfect poem for you.

Her car smells of mind altering substance,
A still burning cigarette in the ash tray,
In hopes that her mind may wander onto something other than you.

She spends hours perfecting her makeup,
Not a single overprocessed hair out of place.
Wearing her tightest and darkest clothes,
She hopes she might get a second glance from you today.

But she won't see you today or tomorrow,
So she'll post a picture and hope you're watching.
Trying so hard to be something that'll catch your eye,
Your dark angel in the night.

As I lay here and think,
I realize it is not you that I want so badly,
It is the feeling I think you might give me,
That I truly crave.

It is that ecstatic feeling
That I can only ever imagine.
The one that lovers get when they meet,
after being separated for a long period of time.

The feeling of passion,
That I have only ever dreamt about.
The one that burns deep inside,
as lovers lay with each other.

To say I love you would be crazy,
But I am in love with this insane idea,
That you might just be the one,
Who could give me the feelings I crave.

I always wanted to see the other coast,
That was the dream to me.
I had it all planned out,
The places I'd go, the people I'd see.
When the chance came,
I took it and ran.
I never stopped to think,
You'd be part of this plan.

Now here I sit,
Miles and miles away.
Thinking of your smile,
Wondering where you lay.
Do you even notice me,
Is it too good to be true?
You're part of my dream now,
I want it to be just me and you.

California is beautiful but it doesn't compare,
To the beauty in your eyes,
All those curls in your hair.
That big gorgeous smile,
I dream about in my sleep.
The way you rock that jacket,
The one I want to keep.

When I get back home,
You'll only be there for a week.
And then you'll move on in life,
Leaving me at your feet.
I'll see you again next year,
Until then my heart will weep.
I can't believe I've fallen,
For the guy I can not keep.

Today you said something that,
Finally put me over the edge,
That finally made me make up this,
Sick twisted mind of mine.

One simple text was enough,
To flip the switch from on,
Straight to off,
Without a second thought.

Now all day I have been
Thinking, of how I feel,
How I feel free but yet,
Lonely.

You see I think we were made,
To be friends, and we took it too far,
I did not mean to break your heart,
If it helps, I broke my own heart too.

All the others who have caught my eye,
Are no longer on my mind,
It really was the thrill of it all,
That ultimately had me.

Now I am left with this new feeling,
You see I have always been alone,
But this is the first time in my life,
That I have ever felt lonely.

Yesterday I saw you,
For the first time in a year,
And almost instantly,
I regained all my feelings for you.

When I was with you,
I forgot everyone else that,
I had spent long hours thinking of,
And instead you took their place.

I dreamt of you all night,
And I kept waking up,
But every time I returned to sleep,
There you were again.

I will be seeing you a lot,
For the next couple months,
It just ***** that you already,
Love somebody else.
