In far away dreams, I dared not

You were so perfect,

When you would speak,

When you stopped to brush your stray hairs back.

You were everything,

And I marveled in every bat of your lashes,

And it filled my heart with joy to see your brow wrinkle with laughter,

I am filled with sorrow at my own inadequacies.

In far away fields soft wind played upon you,

With radiance of the sun magnifying your own,

I only wished to show you,

Places of unlimited serenity.

Where you would be forever safe,

A monument of what should be.

I only begged for your happiness,

Though it not be with me.

It will always be just a far away dream for me,

Fading into night with slumber,

Where you dream too,

Far away from me.
