Gently Dreaming

Can we turn back the hands of time?
Back when your hands were in mine?
The perfect amount of light
Hit your eye just right
And made them shine so bright
As the day proclaimed its farewells
Its nightly shadow now cast
We’re entangled in each other tightly
And during that same evening
I spent the whole night dreaming
Silently of you
Dreaming what veteran dreamers dare to see
You and I relaxing on a seaside breeze
Flying high, falling light as air
On our unknown shore not caring
Because we know one thing for sure
We had each other and that was all
We ever needed for sure
I held you tight, holding you close
Focusing now on the question why?
Why did this happen?
How was I so lucky?
Without rhyme or reason
The questions consumed me
Until I saw you from a different view
Only then did it become so simple
It was as obvious as the changing seasons
As I gazed at you, looking past I saw
The white wings jutting from your back
Holding you tightly, you spoke like air, lightly
Before I could make it clear
My eyes opened wide
And from them fell tears
Before the end of my gentle dreaming
I fell to my knees asking kindly
In my arms wrapped so tightly
Could you love me for the rest of eternity?
As I woke to the suns light
And the early morning dew
I took a look and saw a lovely view
The sun shining through
Showing your transparent wings
Smiling, you opened your eyes
Showing her reflection in mine
In a hushed tone
You whispered a word
A tear fell from my eye
When I heard
Eternity
