I Have But One Dream

Saying goodbye to faithless lovers leave you feeling blue. But I can't help but smile as you bid them adieu. You've limitless hopes, there's nothing you can't do. Yet, I've only one hope, whose fabric's worn through. You share your fantasies, hoping they'll come true. But, mine remain secret, known only to a few. Dazzled by plastic smiles, innocence clouds your view. But, my smile's genuine, unlike those you pursue. You dream of finding love, always with someone new. But I've got just one dream, I only dream of you. (Quatrain) 2/22/2015

Powerful poem. So tragic when love is within reach but the other is looking in all the wrong places. I love your delivery - the dance between the You and I is perfectly done, Emile.

A little bit of Deja' Vu. I don't know if it's me or you. But certainly it's nothing new. :) What the hell, whatta ya' gonna' do? Please forgive the crassness of my comment. Sometimes the fun of the rhyme just takes me for a ride. Loves a beautiful thing, and you obviously have it deep in your heart. Peace. :)
