The Dream Of A Lifetime / My Lifetime In A Dream

Back from dinner, I was riding...
On the road, In a flash, I saw a face hiding,
Was it her? I couldn't believe my eyes!
No, It couldn't be her... It shouldn't be her, my heart denies!

I raced back to take yet another look
Yes, it was her... hugging a book.
I walked up to my once-upon-a-time mistress...
to find that she was married, but yet a damsel in distress!

She was cold, standing there all alone...
A friend had ditched her, she was on her own...
In a strange land, with a tongue too new...
there wasn't a single soul who she knew

So, though she didn't like what I had to say...
She came with me as she had no where to stay!
I took her in and I marked the day,
that I started waking up to her face, everyday!

She was an angel, thats what she was
No wonder she was the one for my pain, the cause
I knew this wouldn't work, I knew all was lost...
But I just wanted to be next to her at any cost!

I knew she'd leave... Back to him she'd go...
But every time I thought of it my heart'd go "NO NO NO!!!"
I just wanted to be with her, as long as I can...
So hide my feelings I did and tried to be the man.

I tried to act nonchalant, just be a friend...
just be good, help her out... You know the trend...
But every second of every minute that I spent with her,
I kept falling in love, deeper and deeper!

Her lovely laugh, her simple smile,
just to see it made my life worthwhile!
her lush lips and oh that hip,
Man... what a feeling, That gal made me trip!

Every time someone saw her with me...
Every time someone thought she was mine...
My heart started beating faster and faster,
And I didnt know what I'd do if I ever lost her...

She was there for me as I was for her,
Hours raced in front of my eyes in a blur
Hours became days, days became months...
12 of them passed and Dday came at once!

For the past 12 months I'd dreaded that moment
She was gonna leave... The Pain... The Torment!
I gathered all my courage as I walked up to her...
To tell her of my love but couldn't bear to see her suffer.

I started " I L..." but went "I L... I'll miss you!"
She smiled knowingly but sadly as she bid adieu
As she turned to leave, I saw a sparkle... Was that a tear???
By then I couldn't tell cause she wasn't too near!

I think of her every moment... All the time,
... and I couldn't sleep so I started this rhyme!
Sometimes I think she loved me too...
But that'll be something that I never knew :'(
