Dreaming of You

You are a dream,
something that I like to think about,
something that will never leave me.
You fit perfectly into my inner thoughts,
making me happy.
As I lay there dreaming by the old rusty swing,
everyone else is asleep,
everyone busy in their own world.
The perfect time to ruminate,
the place where I met you.
A restless day so far,
there is no end in sight.

I imagine myself slowly floating,
as the brisk air slowly pushes me up.
I can see over the chalky grey clouds,
I can see below the clear blue Atlantic,
I can see through day and night,
but I see no one with me,
as I fly through the night time sky.
I keep looking for your pretty face,
a face so clear,
a face so good,
a face that I know I will love forever.
Surely, your face has to be up there among the brightest stars.
As the murky calming air breezes by,
I glide through the air like a wounded bird.
Nature has not been kind.
I look over, flapping hard,
scanning at a bird’s view,
but I cannot find you,
always out of my grasp,
among the bright yellow shooting stars,
bouncing from cloud to cloud.
I finally reach the end of the universe,
reaching the limits of my imagination,
the limits of reality,
without you anywhere, near me.

Weary, but eager to take another chance,
the air burns as I brace myself,
knowing exactly what will happen next.
My vision ends near,
my eyes turn foggy,
my head feels light,
I look astray.
A soft rain comes down.
I cannot find you.
Darkness comes over me, like a hand slowly closing over a ball,
with each hour, the night grows.
Finally, I wake up unsatisfied,
with the whole world on top of me.
I take a moment to think.
A moment that feels like eternity.
A moment for you and me.
Reflecting on life,
looking far within,
stretching my body,
feeling the same dying pain.
A hurt so cold and empty,
a hurt that you should never have to feel.
Nothing is ever good without you.

Tiredness creeps again,
like a shadow in the night,
finally picking me as its next victim.
Content with my thoughts
I resist but fall asleep.
I fall onto the soft pillows atop.
My eyes open to a bright shining light.
A perfect place,
a perfect world.
The horizon beams brightly.
There is no boundary in here.
I have to stand up in this light.

Another day goes by,
another search begins.
Taking one last chance,
struggling to keep my balance.
The road is tough,
is there a meaning to life?
Dreaming of you,
knowing a thing or two about life,
believing in myself.
I am not the interchangeable boy that I used to be.
I close my eyes.
Cozy in bed,
smiling because of you.

My bright yellow star in the milky night,
The one and only bright spot in the night.
Will I ever hold you right?
Will I ever see you again?
Will I ever be happy?
Will I ever be with you?
Yes I will,
because I have you by my side.
My yellow shooting star in the milky night,
help keep my night bright!
