i remember you vaguely from my dream last week

your lips that brushed my cheek
the words you did speak
this is one secret crush that will not leak
oh the thoughts that occurred in my dream last week!

you wouldn't believe
i couldn't believe
no one could conceive
what i did perceive
oh the sadness i felt upon this dream's leave!

i stared at you longingly
you stared back quite charmingly
our gaze did amaze
my heart
oh i skipped a part!

you swept me right off of my feet
to your noble kingdom your fleet did retreat
together we were love's greatest team
and how wonderful all the world did seem
oh i knew from this sequence that this was a dream!

we rode across the countryside
along the green grass far and wide
through your eyes i knew you could see inside
my heart, you would not harm
oh there goes my alarm!

sleep interrupted
dream interrupted
love interrupted
slowly, sadly awaken
oh my reality has been shaken!

i tied a string around my finger

to remind myself
of the tie you'd wear around your neck
of the cold fingers that fumbled around my chest
around your chest
is where i'd rest
my cheek
my face
my heart
for the rest of my life
but that part is
over
my lover, if you were still here
if the string had stayed tied
but you were right
you said the moon would pull the tides
i tried to hide from the tears i cried
but they formed new waves for me to ride
on this ever-changing,
ever-moving
ocean
of a world
