Dreamer

Soft breezes whisper through an open window,
Pictures tell silent stories in my mind,
In a place where dreams are made and all my thoughts are left behind.

My eyes gaze out towards the far distance,
Another moment in time slips quietly away,
I wait for he who will come for me and stay for forever and a day.

I wonder what sort of person he will be,
Will he call my name in his dreams?
At night I create stunning scenes to be torn away by the sun it seems.

I will give him all the love he needs,
With every breath my longing gets stronger,
The clock ticks in the quivering silence, the seconds stretching longer.

The corners of my mouth turn up in a smile,
The anticipation makes my heart beat fast,
No thoughts are needed to picture this moment; he has heard me at last.
