A dream too far.

I wished for romantic evenings,
holding hands as we walked along.
Candle-lit dinners & whispers of careless moments,
sandy walks, long, uninterrupted.
Of secluded nights, blissful mornings,
Learning to know each other, getting to understand,
appreciate & forgive each other.

And eventually,
a life spent with the one who knew me best,
the one who trusted me, respected me,
treated me as an equal,
listened to me & and let me listen to them.
The one who didn't put me on a pedestal,
or put me down.
But was it a dream too far?

Wishful thinking

Once upon a time,

A little girl had a big dream,

She wished that all the flowers

In the world,

Could be gathered up,

Pressed,

And kept forever…

Their colours would stay,

Bright and true,

Their scent would be

As fresh as the day they were picked,

And she could look,

And remember,

That day forever…
