Memories of a Dream

Love of my life,

do you know who I am?

I thought I knew you in

blonde hair and scars blamed on cats

But you disappeared when

uncertainty tainted blue-green eyes

Love of my life,

where do you hide?

I thought I found you in

brown hair and dripping sarcasm,

in open arms and acceptance of

my darkness

But you ran from me when

stress and distance separated

her heart from mine

Love of my life,

are you waiting for me?

Hope springs in my chest when I

dream of you

Of the life we could live

But dreams fade as my heart is broken

over and over again

Love of my life,

do you even exist?

I search for you, I dream of you

Yet still you hide, still you run

Are you kept away from me?

Or are you a figment of a dream I still remember

Love of my life,

I'm waiting on you

My heart is ready, but I suppose

yours is not

Maybe someday we will meet

in the light of day or shadows of night

All I ask is for you to find me before my dream

becomes a nightmare
