this boy came to my bedroom through the window late at night
he said darling if you let me in I'll be the love of your life
something in his smiles said I shouldn't call for help
and suddenly my schoolbooks started flying off the shelf
my clothes all changed their colors, from navy blue to red
I closed my eyes and prayed that it was all in my head
but that's when he disappeared
and prayers were replaced by fear
here I was in my room again
15 and scared that I had no friends
so I closed my eyes and there they were
all the friends in the world
and all the boys I'd ever met
telling me I was their girl
I lay in bed and he snuck in
that creep who broke my window
the glass didn't get in though
no scrapes or blood to tell us so
he didn't even kiss me if I didn't ask
he saw who I was through every mask
you don't have to let them in every time
but times and sometimes always rhyme

Kind of disturbing and definitely thought-provoking...  Was this really a dream...?

actually, it actually happened, sort of... more of a metaphor for what really happened, a dream i may have had but don't remember... how odd that you had the same one...

thanks for your replies
