I dream of him tonight with my blanket wrapped around me tightly,
Dreams stepping on my eyelids, weighing them down into my slumber.
My hair falls onto my face and I am gone.
I'm resting in the arms of one who will come -
The one who graces my dreams and
Stares longingly back at me in a gentle lake.
This is the one who waited for me at the end of an aisle,
He waited for all of me - everything I offer.
Eagerly anticipating me, jealously claiming me as his own.
He's the one I will open myself to, opening myself to know all of me.
He has explored every part of me and will yet explore more.
And if I awaken suddenly, he holds me tighter,
Whispering tender ramblings of love and devotion into my ear.
Yes, this man I love, I will serve him faithfully.
His laughter matches my own and we are one together.
The breeze flutters the curtains and I wake to my lonely self,
Sensing this dream of mine diminishing.
