in the deep of night I lie awake,
in my silent reverie,
lost in the stillness of the dark,
it seems almost wrong to breathe.
all the things in the world;
all the cares of the day,
seem so small, and are easily forgotten,
as here I lay.

it all seems so perfect here,
in my fantasy realm,
where all my impossible dreams
can finally set sail.
nothing seems forbidden
in this serene state of mind,
and even the cold, cruel world
can somehow feel kind.

in my quiet meditation I think,
and my eyes see
shadows dance across the ground,
as branches rustle in the breeze.
clouds drift by,
lit by the moon’s soft white glow,
as in my silent reverie
I think of a single soul.

my heart delights
at even just the thought
of what all those in the world,
throughout history, have sought.
words come out lacking
when I try to describe what I see,
for what I see is you, my love,
and how you love me.

there is nothing else I would rather
have occupy my mind
than the most beautiful creature
since the dawn of time.
it’s easy to imagine
that only you and I exist,
as if the rest of the world
has dissolved into a mist.

but in the overcast light of the day I will see
all of my dreams
in their impossibility,
but for tonight I will drift off to sleep,
thinking of you,
until the next time
that all of my dreams can come true.
