dreams

come to me
let me see your face.
for you are the dream
and i am the dreamer.
you don't know me
but i know you
we meet here every night,
in my heart
and we have had every adventure.
now, my dream,
you are here,
you are reality,
no longer a dream
no matter how unreal it all may seem.
you say you do not recognize me
and you do not recall our adventures.
well, my love, sometimes we forget
even the most important things.
but i have not forgotten.
do not fear, for we have millions
of brand new adventures waiting for us to find them
and these you will remember always,
and cherish as i already do.
but someday, we will lose sight of what is important
and we will part.
we will remember and hold each other in our hearts,
but our souls will wander away
hoping they will be found.
and maybe someday,
when the time is right,
we will meet again in the middle of the night
and the memories of love and adventure will come back to us
and we will be so delighted to see an old friend
that we will never let our dreaming end.
