REVERIE ROMANCE

Last night you were in my dreams
You were the girl I always
wanted you to be

Time was like a feather in the wind
Passing one moment too late
for us to begin

I'm stuck in this box without a light
left hoping you'll come and
let me out tonight
But this first-blush is pathetic and grey
Somehow I've managed to
let you slip away

But now you're gone, you and Mr. Roué
While I'm left playing out some
heartsick screenplay

This ending I swear is all a mistake
It breaks me in places that just
shouldn't break

I'm stuck in this box without a light
left hoping you'll come and
let me out tonight
But this first-blush is pathetic and grey
Somehow I've managed to
let you slip away

Tomorrow's dream is another chance
I'll find the courage I need for
this reverie romance

Thank you very much. I felt a little strange. This is my first post on here in 7 years. Even then, I think I only posted a handful. But I'm looking forward to more posts and of course, reading othere people's poems. That's my favorite part.

Sounds like your heart is requesting you to take some action...James
