I know her,
I’ve met her
a thousand times before,
I’ve walked beside her
along the beach
for countless hours on end.
I’ve dance hand in hand
with her as days went by
without notice,
I’ve stayed awake for nights
on in a row to admire
her peaceful smile
while she sleeps.
I’ve watched her walk
on water beneath
shooting stars,
I’ve heard her sing
in the moonlight
making fireflies dance
around her.
Although those were all
dreams, the real thing
is far sweeter.
