Dream Kiss
Dream kiss
Just like in the ocean so vast and wide and deep.
Are the hearts of lovers dreaming while they sleep.
Alone I stand upon this shore staring out to sea.
Believing somewhere out there, someone’s looking back at me.
I raise my hand to shield my eyes from the bright light of the sun.
Then look out to the horizon. To see if I can see the one.
The one that will chase my loneliness forever far away.
At last I see there’s no one there, I have to wait another day.
I walk out to the water and get down on bended knee.
I place a kiss inside my hand, then put it in the sea.
I imagine that I can watch it as waves toss it to and fro.
Knowing as I watch and wait our love can only grow.
I watch until the sun sinks down giving way to night.
Taking with it in all its glory the last rays of daylight.
In the dark alone I sit heart aching wanting more.
As I listen to the ocean kiss the rocks along the shore.
