Loving Things

In the early hours of the morning
  even though I knew it was a dream
You stood right there before me
  convincing me to believe

I could feel your hand on my shoulder
  and your lips brush my hair
Yes, I knew I was dreaming but,
  I could swear you were there

How I wish I could have told you,
  like the leaves tell the trees
What it meant for you to hold me
  and whisper loving things

But the time it was not kinder
  and the dream it did not last
In the instant my mind wandered
  the moment had passed

How I wish I could have told you
  like the leaves tell the trees
What it meant for you to hold me
  and whisper loving things, loving things

I love the dreamy quality of this poem, Electra...
It reads as if it were written with soft brush strokes.

This was originally written as a song. I wrote it in the early hours of the morning just as it says. It was just there, with Guitar in hand and me half sleepy.

Thanks for your comments.
