Dream Life

In a sea of strangers,      you've longed to know me.      your life spent sailing      to my shores. The arms that yearn      to someday hold me,      will ache beneath      the heavy oars. Please take your time      and take it slowly;      as all you do      will run its course. And nothing else      can take what only-      was always meant      as solely yours.  

                           I remember when I met you,      the hands of time stood still;      you and your camera smile---      a flash of something real. We talked until evening.      the moon came out for a while;      the clock resumed its ticking      and my heart was on the dial. The morning came to calm you,      and as far as I can tell----      I will never know another,      who knew me quite so well.
