Someday

I dreamt of you one night
 many years ago
You were just a fantastic guy
 good to me in every way
Now I've met you
 but I dont know what to say
To just walk up to you 
 would be a sin
Because just looking at you
 makes me become quite flushed
All my feelings seem to explode into one,
 only to be shown all over my face.
My tongue sticks to my teeth,
  My lips quiver,
     And my knees, inevitably, fall out from beneath me.
But I feel no pain, because I look up 
 and you're standing over me,
   ready to offer your hand
I take it, and quickly look away
Afraid you may see the longing in my eyes
If you ever noticed, I wouldnt know
because I run quickly out of sight.
Someday I might know what to say,
 but not today...
