Dream
I had a dream last night that was so vivid and real
So shocking, that I didn’t know what to think or feel
She walked right into class, and appeared out of nowhere
I was so surprised, so startled, that I didn’t even say ‘Hi, there’
Your eyes lit up when you saw her face
She grinned at me like she had won a race
I sat there in horror, as if awaiting my fate
As you jumped out of your chair at an alarming rate
Arms wrapped around her like you used to hold me
My brain refused to believe what my eyes could see
What followed next was a kiss on the cheek
My stomach was sick and my whole body felt weak
You turned around and I could see the betrayal in your eyes
Everybody who warned me about you was suddenly right
You suddenly noticed me sitting there, I had seen the whole thing
What happened to us? We seemed so in love, but were we just a fling?
You stuttered as you tried to explain what you’d just done
But I suddenly realized what I should have known all along
I tried not to cry as she made small talk with me, and I with her
I tried to erase all my memories of you, I tried to forget who you were
My tears ran dry and my sadness quickly turned into anger
When she left I turned to you, I wanted an answer
You were so scared cause you knew I would give you hell about it
I was like a firecracker with a short fuse that had just been lit
I awoke with a start and a thought in my mind,
‘Would you ever cheat on, would you ever cross the line?’
Everyone told me that high school relationships never last
But it couldn’t end like that, I didn’t want to be a part of your past
It wasn’t a dream, it was more like a nightmare
I took a deep breath as I ran my fingers through my hair
Then I looked down at your Valentine’s Day card and knew I had found my answer
You were totally and completely mine, for now and forever
So shocking, that I didn’t know what to think or feel
She walked right into class, and appeared out of nowhere
I was so surprised, so startled, that I didn’t even say ‘Hi, there’
Your eyes lit up when you saw her face
She grinned at me like she had won a race
I sat there in horror, as if awaiting my fate
As you jumped out of your chair at an alarming rate
Arms wrapped around her like you used to hold me
My brain refused to believe what my eyes could see
What followed next was a kiss on the cheek
