My heart was walking a tightrope,
With nowhere left to go.
I'd faced the fact forever,
I'd walk through life alone.

Then quietly he came to me,
No pretenses, no demands.
Not expecting much of me,
Except to be just who I am.

I'm not sure quite how it happened,
He caught me unaware.
It seems so unbelievable,
Pinch me? Don't you dare!

For, if I'm asleep, don't wake me,
I don't want the dream to end.
He's more than just a lover,
He's truly my best friend.

So as I lay here hoping,
This isn't just a dream.
I open my eyes and see him,
Lying here right next to me.

My prayers have all been answered,
My wishes have come true.
I wasn't dreaming after all,
My love, my dear, was you....

This is really nice. It started out sad, but had a cinderella ending.
Loved it!

Love is surely a dream come true for some of us. Unfortunatly, some of us suffer heartbreak.

Thank you all so much for the kind words and little girl, it is true not everyone is that lucky...I am still hoping one day it will be my turn. And I wish you luck as well.

I'm still waiting for my true love to arrive. But as I wait, I've learned that I'm 1000 times blessed cause I have friends that love me.
