Everything I’ve imagined

Every perfect daydream

All of the things I’ve ever wanted
Standing right in front of me
My heart is racing
I’m short of breath
My hands are shaking
Does he notice?
I have finally found what I’ve been looking for
Such perfect emotion being revealed
I wouldn’t change this moment
Not for anything
Not for anyone
But my shaking hands lose their grip
My racing heart slows
Everything I’ve imagined
Every perfect daydream
All of the things I’ve ever wanted
Crumbling at the feet of reality
While my heart was screaming yes
I made myself say no
“A friend of mine once said,
‘It is twenty times better to be friends
With someone
Than it is to be in love with them.’”
Reality…
