Of Hope

In my dreams I can hear her voice like wind passing through the leaves
But I can't makes out what she tries to say
Still,I feel it in my heart
That she speaks to me of hope, of longing, of fear and of love
And so I hear her voice but can not see her face
In my dreams

In my dreams she smells like sugar and flowers
Some unnameable temptation like a craving you can't identify

It is like honey and amber and butterscotch and chocolate
And like nothing else I've ever known
And so she smells divine
But is it her hair or her skin or her perfume or just her
In my dreams

I can feel her touch
In my dreams
Sweet kisses on my lips
I go from nothing to knowing her body is next to me
But I never see her face
Or know her name
And when I awake my blanket is bunched up next to me where I thought she was
In my dreams

In my dreams last night she spoke to me
This time I could not hear her words but I still knew what she was saying
She spoke of hope, of longing, of fear and of love
She gave me confidence and reassurance
She gave me friendship and appreciation
She gave me her trust and her heart
And she told me that I had already done the same for her
She said she knew better than anyone else
She said she knew me from her dreams
My voice, my touch, my heart
But not my face
Or where to find me
She told me one day we would meet, and not only
In my dreams
