A Dream Alive

No question of our connection,
The moment we met, my only regret is my hesitance
To utter a breath

A string of thoughts that might’ve brought her closer,
I know her type. I dream about such a woman most nights
But see before, she was merely an idea.
A faceless figure that would appear
When I was deep into slumber

And I would frequently wonder,
If she was as beautiful as the feeling she left behind

And how I’d love to associate a name with that feeling,
(if she’d be so kind)
And if she’d ever consider spending a little time
With an admirer that admired her
From so deep in the mind

Asleep yet alive
The way she kept me sleepless
The feelings kinda hard to put into English
but my mental state was hard to distinguish
Like, am I awake or deceived, it’s
Kinda hard to tell looking at the woman of your dreams,

Even harder to tell her despite the fact u just met
That months turned into years as she disrupted ur rest
How ur not upset, glad even to know a woman exists
That leaves ur heart in twist
swore to never to cease to persist
Until she sleeps in your reality…

Now here she is in the flesh
And my sentiments want to emanate from out of my chest
But to save me from sounding crazy, I took a deep breath
And with a confident gaze and a smile, complimented her dress
She answered back with thanks through a smile that shamed mine
And continued through her day in stride….

No question of our connection,
The moment we met, my only regret is my hesitance
to utter a breath
The woman of my dreams graced me in the flesh
And I will not rest til our realities connect
