In my sleep

a familiar dream

pops into my head:

I'm walking through the park

with my friends

and in my dream

all I see are couples

holding hands

skipping through the park

while singing an I Love You tune

Quite frankly I'm sick of it 

Well more like tired of it

I'm tired of waiting to do things 

couples do

and then I see her

She’s walking in the opposite direction

I can’t help but stare

The way she walks with confidence

The way her brown eyes call my name

The way her smile welcomes my presence

She’s the woman in my dreams

But that’s the problem

She only appears in my dreams 

When I wake up, the woman I saw clearly

slowly fades away

Now all I can do is hope

Hope that one day when I’m with my friends

I’ll see her walking in the opposite direction

and I’ll recognize her immediately

thanks to her confident walk

her beautiful, brown eyes

and her gorgeous, bright smile

I’ll introduce myself to her and

she’ll look at me with hearts in her eyes and say

“I’m sorry, have we met? 

You look familiar…”
