Again I dreamt of you,
I dreamt of how I wish it could be.
Side by side, fingers entwined,
your beautiful face smiling at me.

Love's tender splendor filling my soul,
when your lips kissed the back of my hand.
I saw the soft glow of joy in your eyes,
like the flames of happiness fanned.

Then a temptation stood before you,
I felt your grasp begin to slip.
My mind was then set atremble,
when I could feel only your fingertips.

Your gaze no longer upon me,
my emotions screamed to make you hear.
When you seemed to just notice my presence,
a guilty smile then fed my fear.

I awakened in bed alone,
you had never been there before.
When but a hope brings such a sadness,
uncertainty is the only thing that is sure.

I lay awake in fear of fears confirmed,
just to touch would be delight.
But pursuit is again withheld,
by the uncertainty that I try to fight.
