My Attempt To Steal

Oh, yes my dear, I've left my post.
No captain is at the wheel, 
and we are surely far from the coast
in my attempt to steal 
myself from the truth my beautiful ghost, 
for I know this isnt real.
But I can tell by your smile what you want most
is a kiss to seal the deal.

And I'll always remember how this will seem
the most lovely of star sprinkled skies.
Though this is not what you would deem
a memory of our lives.
And yes I know, too well, what you mean,
when, softly, you say goodbye.
Until once again I dream this dream,
and you are by my side.
