My Dream

 

you were my dream,
you were my hope, and my smiles,
you were my tears too
as we wept in the other's arms, 
and you let me see a new you, 
that cracked and craved,
how i jumped on the next train,
when you'd wished to see me,
how we weaved a hundred dreams
how time flew between those dreams

you are the dream,
i see with eyes wide shut, 
there was never a moment,
that didn't have your thoughts writ on it,
there hasn't been a day,
you were not missed,
there isn't an evening
I've lived since

you'll be my dream forever, sweet,
you are the one, i look for
everywhere, 
waiting at the window,
leaning against the balcony rails,
gazing into the empty sun-soaked streets, 
and scanning the crowds at sundown,
how i fancy, 
the universe conspiring,
for the love birds to unite again,
for you to come,
like i did, then,
when you had asked to see

how i fancy my best dream yet,
to meet my dream, one day,
so we could weave dreams again,
and make up for the dreams,
we couldn't live!
