Gentle faceless stranger
I have met you in my dreams
Just a re-appearing vision
I’m uncertain what it means
I have danced with you in twilight
Till’ the daylight set you free
Hoping when I fall asleep again
You would return to me
I’ve waited for you many nights
When my eyes closed, you held me tight
Then finally my dream
Revealed your face
Your eyes green like a glowing moon
Your hair that feels like silk and soon
I wished for something real
To take dream’s place
Then every day I opened eyes
And hoped to see my “dreamy guy”
Alas…I did awake BEFORE you fled
Asleep in my arms next to me
I thank the dream that came to be,
And now is a REALITY instead.
