Dreaming of You
Late at night when the world lies asleep the most beautiful star twinkles over me.
In its shadow lays a face and these soft pairs of brown eyes.
As the figure comes clear to me I slowly began to cry.
I extend my arms in hope of reaching you.
The further I reach I realize the further the star was taking you.
“Don’t leave me.” I loudly singed. “I need you just for today.”
I just couldn’t face the fact that the only man that ever loved me was taken away.
I fell on my knees and silently wept, than a gust, of wind awaken me.
I looked around to see that the star that once twinkled had left me.
There wasn’t a light, a face, or a soft pair of brown eyes.
It was just me alone in my room doing what I always do and that’s dreaming of you.
