Once Upon A Dream...

Swirling, swimming, gliding, diving, flying.
Like a warm embrace or a pillow of clouds.
Candy Land, the Milky Way, a palace, a giant teddy bear.
A strange world of unknown yet all knowing.
Dive into the lake of cotton candy the dance through the pink and purple stars.
Fly beyond the Milky Way to the ends of the universe.
White horses running through a field of glitter, flying up around them like a sparkling cloud of dust.
Snow softly sparkling around with no sense of cold.
Sweet smelling candles glowing bright and warm.
Wearing a flowing dress, rippling in the warm breeze.
Under a giant willow tree with fireflies glowing in the branches.
Orange, red, and yellow leaves falling down continuously.
Dancing into the sunset.
Sweet smelling rose petals raining down onto a field of wild flowers.
Swirling, swimming, gliding, diving, flying.
Then waking up from a perfect dream.

The Love Note

My smile grows wider as I continue to read what you wrote to me.
I can almost hear you saying it.
I can practically see your smile as I read your sloppy handwriting.
That smile that I can't help but return.
When you smile your eyes crinkle up like paper and my heart skips a beat.
Oh those eyes that I dream about every night and imagine every day.
Your eyes that melt my heart as you touch my cheek.
Your touch never ceases to make my heart beat ten times faster.
And your laugh will always make me go weak at the knees.
I'll never forget when I first saw those eyes and that smile.
Or when I first felt that touch and heard that laugh.
That first time that I saw you I fell in love.
I finished reading the letter signed with your love and turned out the light.
I lay in bed thinking of how when I first saw your
hands I imagined them holding mine.
I fell asleep smiling as I thought of your kiss.
I woke up to your kiss and my smile grew wider.

If My Life Was a Movie

I feel the rain cold on my skin.
I hear it falling around me.
I hear feet splashing in the puddles.
People running for cover from this icy shower.
I don't mind.
The icy water numbs the pain.
The raindrops on my face disguise my tears.
I can't block out the memories.
I play them in my head like a bad movie.
That's what my life is.
My life is the movie that no one ever wants to rent.
What if the hero never saved the day?
What if the best friend never had good advice?
What if the guy never got the girl of his dreams?
That's my life.
The disappointing story that no one would listen to.
The rain is falling harder now.
The cold water is soaking down to my very soul yet I feel no difference.
I am ice to the core.
We said goodbye.
The end.
Ending credits.
People walk out of the theater in disappointment.
That's it.
My life is a movie no one wants to see.
I feel the rain cold on my skin.
The end.

Forget Him

He sees me, then makes me invisible.
He notices me, but acts like he doesn't.
He tells himself that he isn't breaking my heart.
If only I could believe it like he does.
If only I could block out his laugh.
If I could just forget his humor that I can't help but laugh at.
If I could look into those eyes and not end up
thinking about them for the next week.
If I could just lose that sixth sense that lets me know when ever he's near.
If I could just forget him.
Please let me forget him.
