In My Dreams

I could’ve sworn I’d seen her before.
Her beauty was so engaging that I couldn’t ignore.
Was hypnotized by her walk as her hips swayed.
She was amazing. She was flawless.
She was in a class with just her, and no one else.
Something about her lit up this place.
I didn’t know how, but I wanted to penetrate her space.
Thought about talking to her, but I was nervous. I was afraid
That she wouldn’t give me the time of day,
That she wouldn’t bother to listen to what I had to say.
So I just watched her from the other end of the floor.
Thought she had a man from her constant texting on her cell phone.
The more I looked at her, the more familiar she became.
Trying to figure out where I knew her from was driving me insane.
I watched as guys asked her to dance and got turned down.
As I walked over to her, my nerves had my head spinning around and around.
I asked if I could take a seat, and she said ‘Yes.’
We exchanged pleasantries and conversed.
Automatically, my mind went into reverse
As I looked at her lips because they looked as if I had already kissed them a thousand times,
And as I looked into her eyes because it seemed as if our eyes had met plenty under the moonlight,
And as I looked at her hands because they looked like the same hands that constantly visit me through the night.
I then looked at all my surroundings and my vision came in clear view.
I started to get a sense of déjà vu.
I figured it out…this was the girl of my dreams.
The one who I see every night I go to sleep.
Fantasy became my reality.
Suddenly, I felt a chill come over me.

We talked and talked…things went so smooth…I would’ve never guessed
That she was as interested in me as I was in her.
She said the thing that stopped her from approaching was nerves.
Said that the more she looked at me the more familiar I became
And that trying to figure out where she knew me from was driving her insane…
That she saw me staring at her and hoped I would come near.
As I walked over, she said her vision became crystal clear.
Then she grabbed my hand and squeezed it,
Told me that on every night she feels this.
She looked into my eyes. Said they made her feel warm inside.
She didn’t know it, but I knew everything about her.
So I proceeded to ask her did she like taking long walks along the beach,
And did she love gazing at the stars she hoped to reach?
She said ‘Yes!’ as the tension started to increase.
You couldn’t help but notice the chemistry.

On the nights I was dreaming of her, she was dreaming of me too!
When I was thinking about her, she was thinking about me too!
We were loving each other simultaneously
In a love that was only a theory,
Drowning in each other’s ecstasy,
Soaring above the climax of intimacy.
A love so strong that the earth stood still,
Time everlasting…never having an ending,
Opening something in me I never knew I had.
My need for love brought to the surface.
Been so long since I allowed myself to feel,
Only allowing it to escape in my dreams.
Now my dream was staring me in the face.

Heart beating fast, about to jump out of my chest.
I jumped up, left…because I had to get out of this place
Breath slowly slipping away…
Life, gradually passing away…
I was starting to hyperventilate.
Not knowing she was behind me, she wrapped her arms around me
And told me not to run, not to fear…
That what we have is no façade, but very real…
Not to worry about the past, no more wounds.
She asked if I believed in love at first sight.
I said, ‘No, because we meet every night.
Though I’ve never had you, I’ve always had you.
Though I’ve never touched you, I’ve always touched you.
Even though you’ve never been in my life, you’ve always been there.
I’ve never known for dreams to come true
Until this night, when I met you.’

We kissed as rain begin to fall from the sky,
Covering the tears falling from both our eyes…
Kisses passionate, soft and tender
The moment I told her and she told me ‘I surrender.’
