Dream Girl

Dream Girl

We were so young and innocent

Our days held the hopeful future up to the light

The world was wide open in front of us

As we rode down those dusty streets on our bikes

Could have had anything, but we parted ways

It seemed like the older I got we moved farther away 

Your face seemed to fade into the recess of my mind

I’ve reached the end of this life

And I lost your hidden beauty inside

It was all in the past in the memories of your face

We re-traced the steps into the shadows

Of a long forgotten place

Soon I will meet you there at heaven’s pearly gates

With my arms wrapped around you 

In a welcoming embrace

We breathed like dreamers awake from a nightmare

Kissed on those shores of long forgotten seas

I fell into the deepest caverns of your soul

There in the dark deep serenity…we were free

To hold hands like lovers do

After the earth shook and the morning dew

Dripped down your strands of hair

That were like semolina woven into velvet

We rose from the bed where we once slept

Watched comets barreling through the night sky

I felt the impact of our loss as we wept

When we both realized that you and I

Were figments of each other's imagination 

Ghosts in twilight's hallowed veil

Dreamers not meant for the real world

In a dreamland black, distant, and surreal

That moment when we sat together 

In that holy place so strange

Where the calm air was filled with feathers

We were bound by something more than could be explained

By mere rational thought, 

And so I walked away

From that lake, wood-land fairies, and black sky

Back up from those dark depths I sped like a bullet

From the deep realm of my mind’s eye

To surface from a dream that was so real

Awake in the hazy morning air

My crusty eyelashes broken their seal

A quiet shy little child was I

Feeling as though I had been separated 

By a long lost friend

And I alive for the first time in my life

Realized my God-sent mission

To find the one who was deeply embedded

Within that world that hides behind my eyes

To this day your face haunts me

I hope for our reunion…that blissful familiar surprise

I will go on and search endlessly

For you…my dream girl. 

Until heaven and earth collide.
