Forever In My Dreams

You stand there so proudly, this thing of the wild

So peaceful you look, so meek and so mild

Standing so somber on that ledge you appear

Frightened, yet curious, why my heart holds you dear

The moon is the backdrop of your silhouette

Your beauty and grandeure I will never forget

Those two brilliant orbs pierce through to my soul

Knowing immediately that you make me whole

Waiting in awe for your nightly song

My eyes fills with tears, my heart starts to long

To me you are saying that our souls are one

You beckon; "Soulmate come join me, together we’ll run"

"We will see life together, just you and I"

My heart skips a beat, as I begin to cry

Here I must stay for a few short days

Forever in my dreams, together we’ll play

The day will come that this life is no more

But together we’ll run on that golden shore.
