For anyone who longs to love and be loved...

Lonely dreamer

I'm longing quietly

From a corner in my room

Face towards the glass pane

On the left side facing gloom

-

I close my eyes and dream a while

Press my face upon cold glass

Shifting between memories

And praying that it lasts

-

I can't help smiling as I see that faint outline

My nails run upon the sill

My heartbeat skips in time

While the rain outside patters… As if drawing me inside...

-

A purr escapes my lips

As I feel his upon mine

Water making melodies

Vision so sublime

-

Make it last forever…

Oh, how I wish it so!

But a dream must stay a dream

Reality has shown…

-

My hand clenches to a fist

My mind wages an inner war

One who wish wishes to stay

And one who'll stay no more.

-

My mind is my safe haven

Says the me who wills me be

But the longer that I stay here

the more painful it will be!

-

All but useless daydreams

Mutters the pessimistic voice

But a dream is much more beautiful

Than my hopeless choice!

-

So let me close my eyes and dream awhile

For just a little more

Longing for something beautiful

That lies on yonder shore...
