A MidSemester Night's Dream

Day Seven.

Ok, I'm cheating a little. Because I wrote this poem a long time ago. Like literally in 2010. But I still really like it and it even inspired a short story that I went on to write later that year.

The poem isn't a lie. I actually did have a dream about a girl that I used to like and when I woke up I had tears in my eyes because I woke up and realized that it had all been a dream. Just a simple dream I had in the middle of semester.

And I was really proud of myself for the clever title for it, playing on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Anyways, enjoy:

A MidSemester Night's Dream

                   

Her hand closes with mine, our fingers intertwine.

She smiles and everything is alright. I open my mouth

To say "I love you". But at that moment my eyes open.

I can't help but smile. My night was wonderful

Thanks to seeing her in my dream. Days pass

As love resurfaces. Love spreads through my veins. 

After all that time of pushing away feelings, they are released. 

They consume me. They consume my heart. And I don't mind. 

My heart leaves me and belongs to the one who will never want it.

Only in my dreams, will I say,

"I love you."

But from her lips those three words 

will never be said for me. 

My heart belongs 

A Dream.
