I have dreamt this dream
a thousand times
it always ends the same
there's only you and I
hiking this steep incline
your holding my hand
I'm trusting you
to keep me safe
when the ledge gives way
I loose my footing
but you always catch me
helping me to safe ground
you gently clean my wounded hands
kiss me on my forehead
and whisper to me "I love you dear'
as we make our way up
the mountain again
we are laughing and joking
you come to a halt
and I see the look
of terror in your eyes
the mountain has started to corrode
we need to get to the other side
I look into your beautiful brown eyes
and ask you to come with me
without a second thought I jump
I have faith you will eventually follow
I turn to see where you are
you have made the plunge
but your suspended in mid air
