I Dream

I Dream

A Poem by Seamstress
"

Some simple dreams from a simple girl

"
Lightening flashes outside the window and I sit here alone,
lonely within my chair and the TV screams at me.
I turn off that noisy box and muse about the silence within the thunder
wondering if its the same as the silence between the beating of my heart.

I talk to a gentleman so kind, thinking he's perfect for someone
yet I don't feel the attraction of more than a friend.
He talks of cuddling in front of the tv or movies
while I dream of cuddling as we read to each other.

Are my dreams so wild?
Will they ever come true?
I try to keep from remembering the past,
Yet the things I dream I did with you.

Laying upon the couch the dogs cuddle so sweet,
never far from each others' side they're complete.
Lonely I still sit as the population of raindrops dance upon my windows,
slipping down as that one tear slips down my cheek.

I talked to another, fun and free was he
yet again there is no attraction from me.
He asks me my favorite music, show and movie
while I dream he asks what we should read next.

Are my dreams so wild?
Will they ever come true?
I try to keep from remembering the past,
Yet the things I dream I did with you.

I don't want to give up the dreams I've had so long,
simply because they remind me of yesterday.
I've always dreamed these dreams of my family of two,
I just pray I'm strong enough to live them here without you.

I LOVE IT! I need to check in on this site more often. You will find what you are looking for, it will happen. At least you are trying on different men for fit. You will have me, my friend, always supporting you.
