I Dreamt...
I rode a moonbeam into your room last night
And watched as you lay sleeping,
Chased the shadows and nightmares from your slumbering thoughts
Throughout the night I kept my vigil and frightened the dark away.
I held you in my arms last night
So near that I felt your heart beating, I whispered "I love You."
You whispered "I love you more."
We laughed and you drifted off to sleep
Throughout the night I kept you warm and the cold stayed his unkind
Hand.
The wind carried me to your window last night
I tapped for hours but you would not let me in.
I couldn't stop him from calling you
Throughout the following week I watched him win your affection
I was there.
The arms that held you, my lips which kissed yours
They were always here waiting for you.
I rode a teardrop down your cheek one night
Months later
I am here because he is not, left you for someone else without
Explaining why,
Throughout the night I rested on your pillow close to your face
I could not keep the other tears from falling
I could only whisper "I love you."
