Pitch Perfect Dreams

Pitch perfect I hear them say.
             Though bullet proof is my heart.
             I count my blessings in every way.
           Quotes of love on pages of times gone by.
             In my dreams, you were always my hero.

                   Did you bewitch me?
                Because I thought it was love.
              Love thru the ages is what I felt.
           Must have been my rose colored glasses.
            Thought it was a love to last forever.

             You were nothing short of my everything.
         In dreams of love, there were no impossibilities.
       As the dreams of old come crawling thru me today.
        I dream of rainbows and being in love with you.
      Now I know our love was only convoluted fantasy.

As a teenager, My mother used to tell me to take my rose colored glasses off and see people how they really are, Of course, I always said: I do see mom. Motherly love :)
