The Dream:

I was roused from sleep
that I never slept,

Remembering tears
that I'd never wept,

Driving through rain
that never did fall,

I traveled without ever
moving at all.

I drifted through strangers
from far distant lands,

Until he arrived
with the clasping of hands,

And lost in his eyes
and his smile alight,

The dream began waking
and the grounded took flight.

He haunted me
though he was not even dead,

"You're a little smitten already"
he said,

And then found in a kiss
and then lost in the dance...

Perfection is seldom found
in romance.

"Maybe Someday"
is a song by The Cure,

The words that he spoke
and then left me unsure,

If this weren't a dream
then how to resist?

Only in dreams
could this dream exist.
