****the Dream**** Poem by Stephen Morris

Tonight you were beautiful, Thats all my eyes could see,
Not dressed up, Just bumming around, but as beautiful as can be!
Your slightly slanted smile, your words that sound so sweet,
It kept going through my mind, 'Why can't you be with me? '

Why can't I hold you when you're scared, and tell you its ok?
Or simply cuddle and watch TV, on a dreary rainy day;
Or take you dancing on a star filled night, for all the world to see,
That this beautiful princess that I am holding, is also holding me!
And maybe later when the night is done, and I am holding you so tight,
I kiss your lips as you fall asleep, and all the world is right;

Your so close but yet so far, like a millon miles away,
And a thousand thoughts go through my head,
But not one word can I say;
Its like I'm trapped inside a dream,
A dream I pray comes true, Yet a dream that will remain a dream until I'm holding you;

I still believe through fate we met, yet why remains unclear,
And the only consolation is that yes you're really here,
Yes 'far away', but close enough I can see you smile,
And close enough to be close to you, if only for a while,
Close enough to see the beauty I see within your eyes,
And close enough to dry your tears, should they ever cry;

So for now when you see me smile, know there are words
I can not say, but the feelings will remain until
my dream comes true one day!
