Dear Stranger

Although we’ve never met
I feel like I know you

I’ve never seen your face
Yet I find myself drawn to you 

My heart beats a little faster
When I read your creativity

The beautiful eloquence of your songs
Wipes all my gloomy clouds away

Your words are like a melody
Making my soul want to dance

I wonder what would happen 
If we ever actually met

Would the magic still be there
Or would the spell be broken 

I long to be able to smile and laugh
As we twirl together on the dance floor

I’m whisked away to a serene place
Where my soul is finally free

We dance and and laugh under the stars
Feeling at peace in your arms

The alarm clock startles me awake
Breaking my dream of you

I reluctantly open my eyes
Sighing deeply as I start my day

I return to being a shy wallflower 
While I go through my daily routine 

Looking forward to when the sun goes down
So I can see you in my dreams

Lyric Man has 'thrown the gauntlet'. He will have numerous men vying to be the 'man in your dreams'. I envy the man who turns out to be that man in real life.
