Dream Come True

I woke
the morning after
wondering
if the night before
had just been a dream,
if everything that was
said and done
had all been
what it seemed,
because
falling-star wishes
shouldn't be
in the reach of
my out-stretched hand,
and
wishing-well water
doesn't fall
from the heavens
to flood desert sands.

But despite reality,
I want to believe
that
dreams can come true,
that some day
when I wake,
I'll open my eyes
and

finally

meet

you.
