A Dream Turned Into A Love

by Courtney Knirk   Nov 22, 2004


I lay my head down on my pillow and shut my tired, swollen eyes
The day was behind me but was filled with pressure and stress, which only resulted in cries.

I think about what I might dream tonight not knowing what I had in store.
I had no idea that I dream of you and you would come and sweep me right off the floor.

I dreamed that we kissed and you held my hand in front of the drowning sun.
It was to good to be true, should I stay and love or should I cower and run.

What do you do when you have fallen for someone and you know it won’t work out?
It drives your feelings to go deeper and you know you love them; you’ve lost all doubt.

I feel a burning sensation in my heart and it shoots heat throughout my whole chest.
I like this feeling of warmth and comfort so here is where I choose to rest.

When I awake I feel the pain of the harsh reality of my lonely, depressing life.
I cant have you, what was I thinking, you already have a sole mate, a wife.

But this thought doesn\'t make the fire go out of even go down.
I won\'t tell you because I’m afraid of a full-blown reaction or even just a frown.

I think you’ll look down upon me and tell something I don’t wanna hear.
You’ll tell my what I already know and hearing it from you is what I most fear.

Then I know you don’t have the slightest feeling for me or even an attraction.
So I’m not going to say a word and avoid hurt and pain from that certain reaction.

Just as soon as I think I’ll be okay and that I can somewhat handle being around you.
You catch me off guard with a smile, how do I handle this, what to do.

All those thoughts rush back into my mind and I cant stop thinking about kissing those soft, tender lips.
I have been overpowered like never before, and I weaken a little more as my eye drips.

Making visual contact with you made my legs and arms go numb with heat.
I thought of us together again, holding hands before the sunset, but it was all to sweet.

The little smirk you made, made me wanna rub and caress my hand across your face.
My life has turned from stress to intimacy and I wanna take it at a slow pace.

I am so tense and scared when we’re in the same room.
My vision goes blurry when you\'re in front of me and I can\'t pay attention, eveything becomes a big gloom.

So tonight when I go to sleep I hope that I’ll dream of you once more to continue the best feeling I’ve ever felt.
I just have to move on with my dream and my feeling and figure out just how it is it’ll be dealt.
