I had a dream I saw beautiful
you
Sitting on a cliff
Soaking in the beauty of
the red rock
I walked up to see what
you were looking at
You glance up at me and
gave a little grin
At that moment I realized
who you were
You wondered why I didn't
leave
I wondered why you stayed
I was the stranger, yet
so were you
You said the birds sounded
beautiful
I asked you to describe
it
To tell me how they made
you feel
You asked if I could sing
(No, only my heart when
I saw that pretty girl sitting there)
I told you the birds must
sound almost as beautiful as you
You turned a little red
but still looked at me and grinned
I asked if you wanted to
go down to the stream
Have a little fun
In my amazement you jumped
right up and walked with me
I felt like a little kid
Losing my inhibitions
Forgetting about the world
around us
We romped in the stream
Getting our feet wet
Splashing each other
Laughing until our faces
hurt
For those few moments we
were just two people
Enjoying nothing but the
thrill of the moment
Then when it ended you looked
at me and said you had to go
You looked so sad yet refreshed
You turned and walked away
I yelled thank you
You turned and waved
Maybe you felt something
you hadn't felt in a long time-freedom
I felt something I hadn't
felt in a long time-love
