dreamer

She said, “I’m not lost
I’m just misplaced
like the car keys
or that pair of half price Gucci sunglasses
I bought while drunk at 10 in the morning”
 
“I’m not aimless
I’m just open to all the possibilities
 
"Anything that passes me by
was never meant to be mine
because dreams are bigger than reality
and all the best dreams are in my head”
 
“‘Cause life is like a cigarette
you light it on fire
but eventually it burns out
and all you’re left with is the part
you shouldn’t smoke”
 
“And love…
love is like drowning in whiskey bubbles
no matter how much you want to stay drunk
the morning comes and you find out
that your knight in shining armour
is just an alien enthusiast in a tin foil hat
with a list of conspiracy theories so long
it could almost be classified as a fetish”
 
“But dreams, they live forever
and I'd rather be a dreamer than a child
in adult skin with no dreams at all"
 
"In my dreams I can fly
in my dreams love is beautiful and tomorrow
my bed won't be empty still lingering with the scent
of last night's fantasies"  
 
"No, I'm not lost
I'm just misplaced
and wherever I am
is exactly where I'm supposed to be"
