"girl of my dreams"

Our lives are intertwined

in soul, body and mind

we try to deny and defy

what sets our love aside

though our bodies certify

when we close our eyes

as we toss and we squirm

in our dreams we return

to the moments before

when our bodies were more

like one as we lay on the floor

and touched naked skin

and writhed in our sacred sin

but then our eyes open

the truth is revealed

that we've never been real

and we may never feel

the touch of the other

or been wanton lover

to the one we desire

as we smother the fire

because we need to

for the sake of those two

we're committed to

even if we're unhapppy

we just can't be that crappy

to the rightful owners our hearts.

But I wanted to tell you

that in my dreams I've been through

a life time of loving your loving

and these childish rhymes

are part of my design

to get outside of my mind

get you down on paper

where I can keep you safer

then you'd be if I left you as the girl I see

staring back at me when I close my eyes and dream.
