You Were in My Dream

You showed up in my dreams last night
I was taken back this time.
What happened was unexpected
Yet I woke up feeling more than fine.

I was talking with my family
While lounging on the couch,
When my dad came in carrying
For each of us a pouch.

We opened them up one by one
With me being last
Each gift had a precious ring
But mine was just as mask.

I put the ring on my finger
But the ring was too big to fit
I laughed inside thinking
"This has to be a slip."

But then I heard a voice
One I had heard so many times before
A voice I thought I recognized
But I couldn't be for sure.

Then a line of my friends
Came pouring from the kitchen
I felt so confused
There was something I was missin.

But then you walked out
In front of my family
In your very best suit
And got down on one knee.

I couldn't believe my eyes
My mouth dropped as I looked at you
You began to speak
And I knew my dreams were coming true.

I woke up before I answered
Maybe wishing it was real
But my heart was pumping fast
Trying not to explode with zeal

I thought of this dream many times today
Wondering what my answer would have been
But guess we will have to wait
Until you ask again.

Dear Dreams,

What is going on?
You keep playing with my head
Making it bitter sweet to sleep
As I am laying in my bed.

These thoughts keep me tossing
Wondering if you will come true.
Please give me some rest,
Forget this deja vu.

Dream

I saw you in my dream last night
We were talking on the phone
I don't remember the conversation
But you were gone and I was home

We were about to hang up
When you said three little words
I remember stuttering "good-bye"
and my emotions were stirred

Am I ready to say these back,
Is this how I really feel
In real life if you said it to me
Would I have felt this zeal

You did not pressure me to say it back
Although I wanted to deep down
All I said was "goodbye, alright"
Which I bet left you with a frown

I felt excited, overwhelmed
When I hung up finally
Wishing you would call back
So I could hear it again more slowly

I woke up the next morning
With a huge grin on my face
It was only a dream
But what I wouldn't give for your embrace
