I Dream

Some simple dreams from a simple girl

Lightening flashes outside the window and I sit here alone,
lonely within my chair and the TV screams at me.
I turn off that noisy box and muse about the silence within the thunder
wondering if its the same as the silence between the beating of my heart.

I talk to a gentleman so kind, thinking he's perfect for someone
yet I don't feel the attraction of more than a friend.
He talks of cuddling in front of the tv or movies
while I dream of cuddling as we read to each other.

Are my dreams so wild?
Will they ever come true?
I try to keep from remembering the past,
Yet the things I dream I did with you.

Laying upon the couch the dogs cuddle so sweet,
never far from each others' side they're complete.
Lonely I still sit as the population of raindrops dance upon my windows,
slipping down as that one tear slips down my cheek.

I talked to another, fun and free was he
yet again there is no attraction from me.
He asks me my favorite music, show and movie
while I dream he asks what we should read next.

Are my dreams so wild?
Will they ever come true?
I try to keep from remembering the past,
Yet the things I dream I did with you.

I don't want to give up the dreams I've had so long,
simply because they remind me of yesterday.
I've always dreamed these dreams of my family of two,
I just pray I'm strong enough to live them here without you.

Author's Note

Just some ramblings of my heart on an emotional night.

Very nice piece. I like your phrasing in this one very much, and the flow of both words and ideas feels just right. Excellent work!

This was an enjoyable read. Kind of melancholy in a quiet, wistful way. Well written. The flow was nice and easy feeling.
Very well done.
