A'Waiting Dream

Finally got some sleep,
 'cause the Sandman,
who finally, in, did creep....

Awoke at 10 pm,
A dream of her again....
Someone not seen in near 40 years,
Still with the power to elicit tears,

I don't know how or why,
I should still feel a need to cry....

I blew a golden chance...
At a world class hot romance...

Awoke all a'sweat
And if I could, I would
surely bet...

She has long forgotten me...
Amidst her life and family...

But somehow I can't shake
the memory,
Of her love embracing me..

So thoughts, regrets, of her
I'll carry....
Past the coffin's death kiss
I'll marry
That golden day in the sun...
When we danced together
as one.....
Just that, inside, I do still cry
To pass the day when I do die.
