I stumble upon
your smiling eye in my dreams.
It is there where I become more than just a face in the crowd,
wishful and unrealistic.

It is there where my feelings overcome our unfortunate reality.
I awake
to a world of sheer disappointment.
My fairytale fades
into a simple impossibility.
You once again become the object of all my desire.

If only you felt the pain and frustration
rushing through my veins,
controlling my thoughts and emotions.

If only you felt the ache of my heart
every time you look at her.

If only you knew I'll forever be on the sidelines,
Waiting.
Wishing.
Dreaming.

As I close my eyes,
a wave of happiness crashes over me,
enveloping me in my own hope.

Then I stumble upon your smiling eye,
and my fantasy begins...
