Yesterday's Dream
I knew him once upon a dream.
A dream like you have never seen.
And so have I.
But it seemed peaceful,with a light blue sky.
I saw a girl in that dream.
She was doubtful of all she's ever been.
She says,my pain I don't want you to carry.
I don't want you to worry,I want you to be merry.
The way she spoke in this vivid dream.
Like there is more to her than others have seen.
She says,but what if you don't like me?
What if you dislike the real me?
What if you don't like my flaws?
That stand out in bigger crowds?
And so the boy looked at her with a tender smile.
He says,don't worry.
I'll stay a while.
I looked through her layers.
Of her emotions,deep of woe.
And she felt warm.
Filling up the empty void the girl had.
Because in the dream,she felt really bad.
I assured her everything will be fine.
I told her,I will always love you just the way you are.
And one day I would have made her mine.
I responded to his words.
And the dream began changing into different feelings,worlds.
I told him,thank you.
But what if you are not here tomorrow,just today?
What if you don't like my hidden aspects?
Or try to run or abandon me away?
The girl felt warmth as I replied.
The dream could have shifted into a starry night.
I told her,don't you worry.
For I have seen you once upon a dream.
And I don't mind anything you have ever been.
I have known you for a while.
Even if in the past you felt vile.
I would do anything to protect that smile.
And she beamed.
With warmth within.
She no longer thought of herself as a sin.
I felt comfort,once upon a dream.
The boy was someone I know.
That makes me feel whole.
Maybe it was just a dream.
But it had a shiny gleam.
I woke up with a smile.
And the memory lingered for a while.
For the first time in a while,I had felt comfort from a dream.
And I know that is all it had been.
Yet,I thought about it and gave it a chance.
Looking at the boy from the dream with a glance.
A dream like you have never seen.
