Of Love I Dream

A poem about love.

Of love I dream

With a fear of reality returning

I tear myself apart

Not knowing when it will return

I tear myself to pieces

Knowing she, just, might, not exist

I tear myself to shreds

When I leave you behind

In a world that is better

That could be worse

Yet, it's, just, better

Of love I dream

With a you that isn't you

I hold you yet I don't

I tear myself apart

As I dream

Of holding you in a finite eternity 

Yet not really ever, really making contact

I tear myself to pieces

Wishing to switch everything

Reality and dream

Dream and reality

I tear myself to shreds 

Loving you in an infinite moment

I tear myself

Knowing I may not see you again

because you may be just a fragment

Of a false reality

A dream that might be only once seen

I know what you may say is finite

"Forever and ever" makes me smile

"Till the end of time" makes me waiver

Put them together and I break

Because reality is a blink away

Where forever is, just, a smile of a memory

Of love I dream

Tearing away at the shreds of reality

While I'm, really, just, growing

Away from dreams

That grow ever farther apart

"I love you" as you touch my lips

While I yearn to touch mine to yours

When I'm about to

I simply, just, realize,

Of love I dream
