Dreams

I often write about you

Creating an imaginary scene for us both

I know,call me sentimental

Or emotional,either really

But isn't this what they call dreaming?

Building clouds of invisible nines

Where you kiss me

And say "You know,I think I really like you."

Or the days we might grow old together

Sit by the porch

Listen to the music

You swore you would play for me

(I want to hold your hand)

I can already see

The letters you've written to me

Telling me of all the adventures

You want to go with me

Exploring every part of New York

Because that's the place we both love

And as I walked down the aisle

I know that every sadness I've ever felt about us

Would just drift off

As we say "I do."

Perhaps our first kiss

Would not be like the movies

We would be awkward

And laugh at ourselves

For thinking too much

Sometimes I would get paranoid

And try to keep you tighter by my side

But understand that

I only do that because I truly love you

The worst that could happen

In this dream

Is that we break up

And our hands touch for the last time

A goodbye peck on the cheek

"Stay friends okay?"

And we go in different directions

Becoming strangers again
