DREAMS DO COME TRUE

 
I have dreamed of him, almost all of my life
In my slumber, I would be his wife
 But in reality, I didn’t stand a chance
He had a family, no room for a new romance
I learned through a friend, his world was pretend
His laughter during the day, by night would end
He prayed his pain would go away, but his kindness he had to lend
 His wife was a taker, he was a lamb to the slaughter
He needed setting free, released from his jailor
Who would do that? Would it be me?
What did I have to offer him but my heart?
But he knew that from the start
What could I give him other than my life?
A peaceful way of living, I would keep giving
But how could I get him to believe in me
I could set him free
If only he would come to me
Where would I start, other than words from my heart
Love in his life, for the first time ever
A promise he would find light, in his world without colour
If we only live once, then allow choice
Look to the stars, and rejoice
Follow the rainbow and find that pot of gold
Metaphorically of course
As you can’t buy love, it can’t be forced
He needed to put his trust in me
To turn away from poison he called family
Was I ready to take on this challenge?
To except the revenge
To fight for, to defend
To pull towards me something that was tenacious
To open his heart to life full of tenderness
To wipe his mind of words so verminous
To show him he could be courageous
I would have to be strong
As I believe he and I belong as one
Two halves that were parted
In another lifetime
Broken hearted
But now was our time
If you believe in something strong enough
Go for it, never give up
