THE DREAM
by Sue Julsen


When I first saw you by my side
There was a feeling I’d never felt before.
The way you combed your hair
The smile—I’ll never forget.
Your brown eyes sparkled
Your voice—deep and sensuous.

A tingle went down my spine
The first time I saw you smile.
Your strong arms—oh, how I wanted you to hold me tight
To love me, even for just one night.
But then...then you were gone
Only darkness remained.

I dreamed of you each night
Not wanting to wake.
The dreams with you were heavenly.
I know I’m in love with you...
Or, in love with a dream so sweet.
If only I could sleep, never to wake
You, my love, would still be by my side
Holding me tight.

I can feel your arms around me
I see your beautiful brown eyes.
As you move closer to me...
My head is spinning.
I draw you near
But then...then I awake.
Burning desire and darkness surround me.
In my heart there’s emptiness
For my dream—was only a dream
Reality is misery.
