Out of Reach

Just a smile from you --
A glance -- would set my heart
Trembling with joy.
I close my eyes, yet I still see your
Kind face, your unruly hair shading
Merry, mischievous eyes
Glimmering with the pent-up joy of just being alive.

I wanted you, but I can never have you.
I saw you night after night in my dreams:
You were mine and I was yours.
Just us -- together.
And on cold nights, I would hug my pillow,
Pretending it was you.
You were the one I wanted to pull in
Closer when we danced.

You were the one.

Those were my dreams.
They won't come true, I know.
We are just friends.

Silly dream...
