Dreaming

Every night I fall asleep 
Hoping to see you in my dreams

I close my eyes and you appear
My heart starts beating faster

You smile as you reach out to me
I willingly give you my hand

You lead me to my favourite place
And pull me close so we can dance

A million stars are shining so bright
I see them all reflected in your eyes

You hold me close all night long
While you gently sing into my ear

All too soon it’s time to go
Even though I could stay like this forever 

“Please don’t go.” I beg in vain
Knowing full well you have to leave

“Come find me.” you smile 
As you gently kiss my hand

“I don’t know where to look.”
I reply sadly as you let go of me

“Just follow your heart,” you whisper
“You’ll find me when the time is right.”

The dream fades as I open my eyes
I sigh heavily as I get out of bed

I scrutinize my surroundings 
As I go through my daily routine 

Constantly searching for the man
Who will sweep me off my feet

Hello Curtis! We are fellow dreamers. I dream of a lost love and I don't experience him as lost at all. He is as real as if he were here. I do not know how that happened..it was in July, this year. And that led me to writing poetry about him and posting. ( have not done so as of yet.)I only have two Poems on the Soup right now. I liked your poem. Fellow dreamer, Panagiota He is a real person! Thank you..

The man of your dreams, although a fantasy, is also dreaming of you. Perhaps one day both of your dreams will come true.

I’m beginning to think that will never happen.
