Picture by Josephine Wall

* * *
I should point out that this was
written purely from imagination
and I think most of you know that
I am a hopeless romantic and a
daydreamer.

* * *

I see you from a distance
As I catch the morning train
I glance beneath my umbrella
As I seek shelter from the rain

While I read my magazine
I am conscious of where you are
I imagine we're together
As I admire you from afar

When I close my eyes at night
You walk with me along the sand
You unearth my hidden passion
As you reach down for my hand

We alight from the same station
And we go our separate ways
'tho you don't know I exist
I think of you most days

My heart begins to flutter
As you begin to walk my way
My mind begins to race
As I wonder what you'll say

That was three years ago today
Since you first asked me out
Your love came into my life
And was able to break the drought

My dream became a reality
And now we're husband and wife
My search for love is over
For I have found the love of my life

* * *

"If I never met him
I would have dreamed
him into being"




I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

wow what a love story come true

I would rather my words fall upon deaf ears than a closed mind...

The nice thing about being a pesimest is that your either right, or pleasantly surprised.

Sue

You definitely are a hopeless romantic as I am myself but that's OK that just means we have an open heart to explain........I really like the first part of this and I'd like to try and sing along with some of it if you don't mind.....

Have a good day

Your daydreaming is wonderfully creative and romantic.
First there is the thought, then the image begins to form and reality is ready to manifest.
Very lovely.
Love, Margherita
