Dear Boy With the Brown Eyes

Dear boy with the brown eyes
I was wondering where you were tonight
If you were going about town
With some cute girl in your arms

Dear boy with the brown eyes
I wouldn't mind, oh how could I mind
When we are but thousands of miles apart
Calm this senseless beating of my heart

Dear boy with the brown eyes
Don't you dare promise the moon and stars
For my heart, oh this heart of mine
Couldn't help but wish you were true

Dear boy with the brown eyes
With the jazz and alcohol that drowns me
Tonight I long for unadulterated romance
You are the illusion I hold on to as truth

Dear boy with the brown eyes
Will you ever be more than a convenient dream?
Reach out your hand to touch me
Let me know, let me know you are real

Thank you for your kind words eric. I enjoyed all the words you shared. It is as if those are the words one wishes the inspiration behind this poem thinks when he, by fate, randomly comes across this poem. :)
