Dream Song

Time passes without you for the one you loved. Came to me as a song, in a deam.

I sit here staring at the desert scene with the snowcapped mountains and wonder where my true love has been.

She never comes to me, to spend some time together, tho before we were never far apart, 

and it drives me wild, wild, wild.

I've sat here so long, and never noticed the girl sitting just feet away, 

also staring at the desert scene with the snowcapped mountains.  Does she too long for the 

touch of her true love's embrace, and does she feel the same,

as it drives me wild, wild, wild.

I ask the girl, who is also staring at the desert scene with the snowcapped mountains, if we could hold hands

and wait together.  I reach across the few feet and touch her outstretched hand.  Together we will wait.

And when my one true love sees, 

it will drive her wild, wild, wild.  

Never a word is spoken as the girl and I hold hands, while we watch together the desert scene with the snowcapped mountains.

Together we sit, holding hands, waiting, waiting. Someday my one true love will return, and when she does, 

it will drive her wild, wild, wild.

As I hold the hand of the girl who also watches the desert scene with the snowcapped mountains, 

it seems to me her touch is cold, tho my thoughts have no sense of comfort or not.  My only thoughts are

of my one true love coming back to see our hands,

and it will drive her wild, wild, wild.

I look toward the girl, who's cold hand I hold, while staring at the desert scene with the snowcapped mountains.

The silence is broken as I say to her, "we should put down roots together and span the gulf of time." 

She nods as she understands and says, "It's so easy to do."   And as for my one true love, 

it will drive her wild, wild, wild.

As time has passed, sitting here with the girl, holding hands, staring at the desert scene with the snowcapped mountains, 

it occurs to me the desert is not quite as clear, and the mountains hard to see.  Love alone does not sustain me now.

My one true love will never come.  I retreat, to await my fate, and as for my one true love, 

it will never drive her wild, wild, wild.

I lie here in my silken bed, dark and cold, no longer staring at the desert scene with the snowcapped mountains hard to see.  The girl lies too in her silken bed, no more than feet away.  Together we will spend our time.  Eternity.

And I realize now, as my thoughts fade, that for my one true love, 

it will never drive her wild, wild, wild.

Although the ending was a bit of an anticlimax the whole thing moved along well throughout and I enjoyed the story unfolding. The repeating, "wild, wild, wild" lyric was catchy but it's so catchy I can think of at least three songs with the line in it off the top of my head. Songs by Kiss, Melissa Ethridge and John Legend. But hey,, at least you're in good company there. I enjoyed the read.

So very sad...
Longing, despair, betrayal. why do we seek that which we cannot have?
Perhaps that is what it means to be human.

Hi there,
I really felt I was reading part of a short story...or perhaps a song..I did enjoy it..
I noticed that you have a story posted..so I will be reading that to.
And again I am so happy you wanted to read my poem Miles Apart again.

I was thirsting for more details. It got me interested to know. A romantic undertaking with romance on the horizon. Kudos.....................

I actually could really see this as a song...
with the wild, wild, wild line in the chorus...

Actually, this was a dream I had, and it was a song in the dream. I very rarely even remember my dreams, this one I woke myself up sitting in bed singing that chorus out loud. I immediately had to write it down. I wish I was musical, as the song in my dream was beautiful.

Thanks you the review.

The song was so real and perfect in my dream I had to search to make sure it wasn't something I had heard and just dreamt it.
