Just Another Dream

I am the girl of your dreams But you just don’t know it I am to be lavished to be loved Sought after by meters of men But for you to take advantage of again I will advise you rescue you And hang on your every word Although they speak for some other girl I will ask you about your day As I’ll do when we’re old and married And you smile for how lucky a friend I’ll always be My hair will twirl ‘round my fingers My eyes will gaze into yours As yet another friendly punch caresses my arm And a day will come that I’ll give in To become a friend, a love for another But I know someday you will come to miss me And that is all I could ever dream for.

Such longing! But in my fairly long life, I've found friends last the distance much better than lovers, so all is never lost. You speak for us all, so eloquently - thank you!

Thank you. I can't actually say I feel this at all in the present, but I have to a lesser extent in the past. I just feel like its a common feeling that a lot of people get, falling in love with a friend that doesn't realize your feelings for them. I can only hope it brings hope for someone.

I hope he realizes you are the girl of his dreams and returns your feelings before you find another. This is a beuatiful poem, Allison. Welcome to Poetry Soup! I'm sure you'll make many new friends here. Best Wishes, Carolyn
