A dream

He hovers around while I try to work

And I swat away like an angry fly

Yet the moment he pretends to draw away

I pull him close before he finishes the try

Pulled up so close, I turn quite shy

And blush with joy at the look in his eye

A knock on the door snaps us out of it

And before we know, the den's all lit

So many people swarm about

Each wanting to talk, laugh or dance about

A party it is, yet I itch to break free

Be marooned on an island, just him and me

He seems at ease, working the whole crowd

All my friends so he doesn't want to leave no doubt

And a few close ones laugh and smile

At his earnest effort to want to be mine

My heart melts, yet again, in his subtle love

How did I get so lucky, dear God above?

My question's answered with a rude shove

With a persistent, " wake up, love!"

I come back to me and the life not so sweet

Where nor my phone chirps nor does he tweet

'Twas a dream, as it always is

With a sigh I roll over and stare into the abyss.

He still is as far away as he can be

Making it months and now years since I saw him, see

Sheer agony he has but put me through

Yet I dream, I dream of but him, a fool.

Life's not a dream and probably never will be

Yet I pray that one day this dream, I shall see.
