A Dream
I sit here in this airport
I am all alone
Yet people walk all around me
Then I see her
She glows like a single star in the night sky
She is perfect
She looks at me
Then she smiles
I return the smile
She walks toward me
"How do you do?"
She asks
But I cannot reply
When I come about
I notice her sitting next to me
I lose my breath
I introduce myself
"It's a pleasure to meet you"
She replies
She smiles again
The minute I see the smile
I fall in love
She is the one in my fantasies
She laughs
She tells me her story
I tell her mine
We sit closer and closer
Finally, I wrap my arms around her
I hold her close to me
We continue to exchange stories
But all the time I think about her
About how I want to kiss her
I look at the clock
I have one hour left
We get up and walk about
She departs for ice cream
I depart for a rose
She returns with ice cream
I return with my hand hidden behind my back
Then I reveal to her the rose
She gasps
I step forward
We kiss
It is passionate
It is sensuous
It is enduring
Then we pull away
I whisper sweet nothings in her ear
I whisper the simple words, "I love you"
She returns these claims of love
Then I awaken
Now I realize that it was just a dream
