Familiar Stranger

In the mist of my dreams

In the fog that surrounds me as the darkness consumes me

I see you there

But you’ve always been there

Standing in my dreams

Watching over me as I rest

I know you 

And yet I don’t at all

You’re the familiar stranger in my dreams

I wish I knew who you were

And yet, I don’t want to realize 

That you aren’t real at all

I want to keep the illusion

That you are real

Somewhere

And that one day 

I’ll find you

You’ll know me right away

As I will know you

The vivid blue eyes that haunt me

Hair dark as a moonless sky

That always has a strand that falls in your face

And a soft smile

That smile that makes my heart race

I haven’t been close to you

Yet I know how the silken strands of your midnight hair

Feel beneath my fingers

As I brush it from your face

You have not touched me

Yet I know how I feel in your embrace

Your skin against mine

How safe and warm I feel in your arms

You have not kissed me

Yet I know how your lips feel touching mine

The electric shocks that go through me

How much I want to drown in your kiss

And stay there with you forever

Tears run down my face

As I feel my heart break

I know you aren’t real...

But I wish you were

I want you to be

More then anything in the world

If I could

Then I would dream forever

Because I know you would be there

Waiting for me

My familiar stranger

My angel

How I love you so

Author's Note

So this is a poem written by my character, Alyce in my novel The World Awaits, its all about a strange guy she's seen in her dreams ever since she was little and it turns out he's real... but he's FAR from an angel
