I close my eyes, and open it to your face.
Here we are again; Together.
You take my hand in yours, and whisper to me.
The sound of my name from your lips is akin to a caress.
You tell me words that I've always wanted to hear,
And keep me close to you; our hands intertwined.
I give in to the sweet surrender which is your embrace.
..As the world around us slowly drifts away.
But not long until I am forced back to reality,
And have to face the truth that there is no you and me.
I am to live my day, still able to spend it with you,
But not in your arms, not in the milieu of your love.
I have to accept that I am not the one in your heart.
It cannot be I; I am just a friend.
I should be content with whatever we merely are,
'Tis better, than not have anything to do with you at all.
But when the day ends, our rendezvous draws near.
And I visit the only place where there can be a 'you and I'.
It is the place where anything and all are possible.
And here, my desires and fantasies are made real.
Because here in my land of make-believe,
There is an us; You are mine.
And though I know this isn't where I really belong,
I find escape from reality, and close my eyes...again
