Sweet Rendezvous

I close my eyes, and open it to your face.

Here we are again; Together.

You take my hand in yours, and whisper to me.

The sound of my name from your lips is akin to a caress.

You tell me words that I've always wanted to hear,

And keep me close to you; our hands intertwined.

I give in to the sweet surrender which is your embrace.

..As the world around us slowly drifts away.

But not long until I am forced back to reality,

And have to face the truth that there is no you and me.

I am to live my day, still able to spend it with you,

But not in your arms, not in the milieu of your love.

I have to accept that I am not the one in your heart.

It cannot be I; I am just a friend.

I should be content with whatever we merely are,

'Tis better, than not have anything to do with you at all.

But when the day ends, our rendezvous draws near.

And I visit the only place where there can be a 'you and I'.

It is the place where anything and all are possible.

And here, my desires and fantasies are made real.

Because here in my land of make-believe,

There is an us; You are mine.

And though I know this isn't where I really belong,

I find escape from reality, and close my eyes...again
