Tonight I met a fallen angel
Who came to me from up above
Who would have thought that in a stranger
Someone like me could find love

Her voice was friendly and unique
Her eyes were glittering with sparks
She used my silent thoughts to speak
And always laughed at my remarks

She promised that she wouldn’t wake me
If I was dreaming all of this
She swore to me that she would take me
Beyond the boundaries of a kiss

My eyes were swimming in her soul
I realized that I’ve been blessed
The clock was ticking on the wall
My heart was tacking in my chest

My heart could not believe my sight
I walked her home and held her hand
And in response to my “good-night”
She said, “when can I see you once again?”

And yet our date was never finished
The clock alarm rang in her head
And in a flash I was diminished
And she woke up tucked in her bed

I fell in love and kept on falling

A very beautiful piece here - although I'm a bit confused....are you the one in bed dreaming, or is she ? Is she the angel, or are you? Hhmmm? I read it over a few times, but I'm still lost - help me! It's late, and I'm pobably just half asleep....

I thought this was quite good, but I too am confused. She wouldn't wake you,(so it's your dream). Then she wakes up tucked in her bed? (Her dream?)

There you go, you go it. I'm glad you liked it and I'm glad to be here.
