Pointless Dreaming Poem by Hyde

i imagine us hand in hand
walking on the beach, and lying on the sand
or swimming in a river, our hair wet
my heart, forever in your debt
sometimes, i see us snuggled up under the covers
watching scary movies involving young lovers

i see this, even though you don’t hold me in your arms
and time still goes on
even though you don’t whisper in my ear
in my dreams you are near
i know i look like poo, without a line of black around my eyes
so my hope, is that you can see past, to where my inner soul lies

i know i’m not the greatest thing on the planet
but i think if we tried, we could sing like Brad and Janet
we could sing into the night, beneath the stars
our light being, glowing fireflies in jars
my head on your shoulder
my hands in your pockets as the night becomes colder

but maybe that’s not what you envision
maybe you’ll read this and think it a derision
a foolish mirage that won’t come true
because there is another you secretly woo
and if that is the case
please shut down this dream i trace

but until that dreaded day...
in my heart you’ll stay.
