The Dream Girl
On a roll
In my Dreams
Last night
I met her
The perfect girl
Because
In real life
I know her
Actually
Truly
And she'd
Deny
But she knows
So tonight
I stayed up
Past midnight
One
Two
Three in the
Morning
As If I could
Beat sleep
For once
And
Meet her
Again
Eluding
My dreams
But not
My mind
Thoughts
And heart
And
When I give up
With heavy eyes
For the night
She gives in
Visits
Or at least
Assures me
She's here
But waking up
Vanishing
Better than
Magicians
Hide props
Hiding my love
Until
The next evening
Tomorrow
I'll go to
Bed
Always
On
One side
Waiting
for that
Warm feeling
To slide
Into bed
Next to me
Red Box Selections
There
Are no more
Decisions
To make
Red box
Has preselected
What's
Left to rent
Easier
Said than
Done
While
I hand
Select
The one I love
She
Must love
V-necks
Or my ego
At least
to Keep it
In check
Laundry
Folded
Weekends
Slept in
Slept in
Beds
In different
cities
That
Traveled
To my heart
Because
Topics
I can't
Select
Readings
I'll never
Turn pages for
But for her
I'd Turn
My sheets down
More than the
First night
Because
Sex isn't
An option
Right now
Rather
Conversation
Is a requirement
At least
Until
4 AM
I can't
Choose
Sleep Schedules
Alarms
Buzzer types
Working days
But I choose
Carefully
At how I get
Loaded
On the right
Mixed drinks
Cautiously awake
However my eyes
On her
And don't stray
Too far
The next morning
Because
This is
The one thing
I don't
want to
Have
Preselected
For me
Red Eye Love
And it's been
That kind of
A week
When you look
At your watch
Only to realize
Your an hour ahead
When you really
Forgot
About day light
Savings time
Sitting
In the airport
One of many
Enough
To count
On fingers
And toes
As if
A girl in
Each city
Is feasible
But who has
Time these
Days
On time or
Delayed
The Flight times
Flash up
Home
Home is here
The airport
Rather the
Real home
Is not
A home
Merely
A hotel
To sleep until
You
Leave in the
Morning
Family ties
Become
Untied
Strengthened
Broken
In
Transatlantic flights
Paris
London
Business calls
More stamps in
My passport
Currencies
Carried
As if
Badges of
Honor
Held
The heads
Of Kings and
Queens
First class
Extra leg room
and Liquor bottles
Medicated
Feelings
And trapped emotions
The whole
Time fighting
The man
Or just the
Jet stream
Crowds
And security
To get back
Only if
For a few hours
To her
Until
Business
Calls
The next
Red eye
out
The Ending Days
The sweet
Summer
Heat came
Early
This spring
On the
Back deck
Watching
the sun
Slowly
Fall
Over the
Horizon
The end
Of another
Day
Calmly
Relaxed
In my chair
Her next
To me
Waiting
For the day
To finally
End
With her
Write the
Perfect
The perfect
Words
For her
Because
All your friends
Are watching
Your one time
To truly
Confess
Profess your
Love
Notes
I scribbled
Down
In my pocket
As I look
Across
My counterpart
Holding the
Flowers
Her eyes
Looking
At me
And the
Three weeks
I've thought of
This
Well
Honestly
I've been
Thinking
Of this
Since
I was
Born
All conjured
In my mind
Just waiting
For her
The perfect
One
To read it
To
The vow
My vow
And no
This isn't
Like the movie
Because those vows
Are Hollywood
And this
Well this
Is real life
You can't script
This
Ever
But the
Words
Start flowing
And you
can Hear
A pin drop
Because all eyes
Are on you
Myself
So I
End
And seal
This vow
With a kiss
Promising you
Everything
With it
We Are Young
And at
8:30 this
Morning
Huddling over
A toilet
Truly exposing
Myself
While trying to hide
My inner
Emotions
As they're
On the seat
Another long
Night
But not the
One you'd
Think
For it's only
Thursday
And if I could
Use a drink
I would use
One right now
Work on the
Heavy
And phone calls
For traded positions
States away
Upgrade in dollar
Signs
Downgrade in
Distance
Noon thirty
To come soon
Reports due
But the biggest
Report
My life
A decision
To accept
Or
Decline
And as my
Sleeve serves
As a handkerchief
For my eyes
Rinse my mouth
In the sink
My phone
Buzzes
Her
As I speak
Softly
She tells me
She's not
Going anywhere
Refreshing
Reassuring
My no longer
Blood shot
Eyes
Tighten
My tie
Winking
At my smile
In the mirror
Knowing what
I have to
Do
Unknown Thoughts
Every so
Often
There's
A moment
A second
In time
When you
See
Into the
Future
With someone
As scary
As it
Sounds
It's a
Moment
That will
Change
Your life
Forever
A pretty
Girl
Dating
A few months
If not
More
And graduation
A few weeks
If not
More
Away
And just
A dress
For her
On a hanger
Perfectly
Picked out
To be
Tried on
Getting
A preview of
Upcoming
Attractions
Only to
Walk out
Stunningly
Jaw dropping
And most
Importantly
Beautiful
And in
That moment
That
Second
Without
A thought
Idea
Or hesitation
I know
That's the
Girl
I'm going
To marry
