There once was a boy

there once was a girl

for this boy and girl

their lives were a whirl.

 

Both young at age

but strong at heart

everyone was doubtful

from the very start.

 

Although this boy

and this girl

were completely in love

so much, peace it portrayed

such as the dove.

 

Many time people critisized

people made fun

soon this boy and this girl

wanted to escape the lives they came from.

 

An act of foolishness

an act of greed

this is what people said

as they poked at their hearts till they\'d bleed.

 

Bleed from the inside

bleed form the heart

as others pained them

and tore them apart.

 

But for them

hope grew by day

and love by night

never did they listen

for those people were not right.

 

They lived five hundred miles away from eachother

but still their love would lassed

they were forever,

the decision was passed.

 

Despite all the distance

despite all the criticism

these children sat wondering

in cold, quiet mysticism.

 

They were constantly in search of god

of perpetual divine

they sat together

searching for a sign.

 

One night they were together

it was raining

they were lying on his bed

\" i love you\" he had said.

 

He held her in his arms

\" i love you too\" she replied

she was sad, for he will be gone again

so she sighed.

 

\"We will escape, i promise you that\"

he said to her

as up she sat.

 

\"i need to escape\" she said to him

\"i know you do\"

he held her close, and kissed her chin.

 

He lied her down

and with her

he had his arms around.

 

\"Go to sleep, and we\'ll see tomorrow,

maybe this rain, will drown our sorrow\"

he said, and they went to sleep

in peace...not a peep.

 

She awoke, and what to see but the boy at the door

\"come\" he said, and nothing more.

 

He opened the door, their passage

and there all her dreams were, so much, so massive.

 

The boy smiled at her

she looked around

\"its not a dream, its not a blur\".

 

She took his offered hand

and walked along

walked along in neverland.

 

She saw beautiful forests

long laes, blue streams

no suffering, no screams.

 

Around were great fields

and the great blue skies

that kept in the good

and caged out the lies.

 

Unknown beautiful birds flown all around

fruit grew on the trees

colorful animals roamed the ground.

 

Giant flowers grew

the warm breeze smelled of roses

the butterflies flew

and the air so fragrant, it was royal to their noses.

 

The boy held her hand tight

so she looked at him

his blue eyes shone through the light.

 

He kissed her and said-

\"Here the river flows, so you\'ll never be thirsty.

Here the food grows, so you\'ll never be hungry.

and here always is me, so you will be happy.\"

 

She smiled at him

and then it all dissappeared

she felt herself grow weak

her eyes grew teared.

 

Suddenly she awoke

still in his arms, she was home

she cried

then he spoke.

 

\"What is wrong?\" the boy asked

all the tears, she was masked.

 

\"It was a dream i had\" she said

looking up, she was sad.

 

The boy grabbed her hand

led her to the door

\"i love you\" he said

he never needed say more.

 

As he kissed her

it felt just as the dream

in which so real

it had seemed.

 

He opened the door

\"Here we are\" he said

he\'d need never say more.

 

\"Here we are,

in neverland

come to me...

and take my hand.\"
