A Dream Wakes to Reality

I saw a true vision of beauty
She was introduced to me
Her long dark hair was perfect
With blue eyes sparkling like the sea

Our visions crossed one another
And she gave me a pearly smile
The kind one could never forget
No matter how long the while

Not believing she could have interest
I smiled back without a sound
Getting to know her would be hard
With my self esteem so low to the ground

In watching life around me
I noticed her presence was growing
Where I was living at the time
Laughter and jokes were free flowing

Humor fell on everyone's expense
And sometimes she would get mad
If too many laughs came down on her
She would leave looking very sad

In a short obervation time
Watching her react to what was said
My words seemed to hurt much more
Finally, the light came on in my head

My roommate said "welcome to today"
Me still having a hard time to understand
Why would someone so beautiful
Want me to be holding her hand

December 5th soon arrived
Packing winds and heavy snowfall
This was the night she came in my room
Sat on the floor to stare at the wall

Almost in teardrops
She so deperately tried to hide
Her sparkling eyes had dimmed
Dark emotions were flowing inside

The room was overflowing with silence
Suddenly I owned a high decible clock
Gesturing her over to my side
She sat and began to talk

Our conversation lasted hours
I learned alot that night
Giving her a gentle backrub
We talked until the morning light

There were alot of different issues
Turmoils she'd been through
I wrapped her up into a hug
For what else could I do?

Having internal wars with myself
Building all the courage I could
I asked her to be my girlfriend
With no hesitation she said yes she would

Standing a top of the world
Seeing how great this could be
Feeling warm at twenty below
This beautiful girl was with me

Spending so much time together
Helping one another in every way
Even my brushing out her flowing hair
At the end of every day

The sun didn't shine forever
Earlier and earlier it would fall from the sky
She started pulling away
I had to start to ask myself why

A kiss fell from a high to low
There was no longer a hand held out to hold
From day one she didnot want to make love
Even my cuddling seemed to grow old

Life was beautiful
For the first month or two
Just to melt away real quickly
As she moved on to someone new

I looked at her one last time
Seeing her again was a serious doubt
Like an unforgiving parking meter
My time with her ran out

Never hearing her voice again
Many years have flown by
At least now I can write this
Without even issuing a sigh

The clock is always ticking
Every second becomes the past
Hopefully before the clock winds out
I will have a love to last
