Meant For Someone Else

Last night I had a dream
to give to you this song I'd sing
Tho on my mind was someone else
But there were you from off my shelf
So here I am to write to you
that poetry so long overdue 

The walls of life were 
so high and wide
But feelings are emotions 
dictated by the eye's
The dragons that guarded
your tower so high
Responsibility and honor
were reasons to hide
Yet even now
those feelings they stayed
forever in my heart
the beauty it weighs
The eye's, the hair, 
and guiltless tones 
No reason was ever given
to leave you alone 
Never in your actions
would harm I'd see
No rumors infractions
almost sin free 
A lasting attraction 
you'd always be

Little girls play with dolls
And in a way boys do too
Countless were days and nights 
my doll would be you
But always in reality
I could never persue
That higher class fatality
inner feeling I saw as you
In a sad existance
shyness always reigns
Your nothing but a pauper
To a princess your just a stain
But here I am now
with feeling I've not outgrown
I imagin now we both know these feelings
I've only slightly shown
This morning I'd sing you a song
I meant for someone else
But instead I write this poetry
for this reality is myself
She might be my today
But you'll always be my tommarow
And it's a fact that I cant hide
what God see's as my sorrow

those feelings they stayed forever in my heart---She might be my today But you'll always be my tomorrow--a powerful statement of love straight from a smitten heart. A highly romantic poem! Sweet emotions exude throughout.
