For anyone who longs to love and be loved...

Lonely dreamer

I'm longing quietly

From a corner in my room

Face towards the glass pane

On the left side facing gloom

I close my eyes and dream a while

Press my face upon cold glass

Shifting between memories

And praying that it lasts

I can't help smiling as I see that faint outline

My nails run upon the sill

My heartbeat skips in time

While the rain outside patters… As if drawing me inside...

A purr escapes my lips

As I feel his upon mine

Water making melodies

Vision so sublime

Make it last forever…

Oh, how I wish it so!

But a dream must stay a dream

Reality has shown…

My hand clenches to a fist

My mind wages an inner war

One who wish wishes to stay

And one who'll stay no more.

My mind is my safe haven

Says the me who wills me be

But the longer that I stay here

the more painful it will be!

All but useless daydreams

Mutters the pessimistic voice

But a dream is much more beautiful

Than my hopeless choice!

So let me close my eyes and dream awhile

For just a little more

Longing for something beautiful

That lies on yonder shore...
