Dreaming

My heart was walking a tightrope,
With nowhere left to go,
I'd faced the fact forever,
I'd walk through life alone.

Then quietly she came to me,
No pretences, no demands,
Not expecting much of me,
Except for me to be who I am.

I'm not quite sure how it happened,
She caught me unaware,
It seems so unbelievable,
Pinch me? Don't you dare!

For if I'm asleep, don't wake me,
I don't want the dream to end,
She's more than just a lover,
She is truly my best friend.

So, as I lay here hoping,
This isn't just a dream,
I open my eyes and see her,
Lying here right next to me.

My prayers have all been answered,
My wishes have come true,
I wasn't dreaming after all...
My love, my dear - IT WAS YOU.
