Living In A Dream

I saw it in the movies,
I read it in a book,
I'd hoped that it was real,
But never thought to look.

I thought about it daily,
I dreamt it in the night,
I prayed it to the heavens,
And wished on stars so bright.

But for months I never got it,
And for years it never came.
So I just tried to close me eyes,
And sleep all day and dream.

And for a time I had it,
I thought that it was true.
But over time I realized
That my tragic love was through.

And then I met an angel,
Who shined so bright to me.
And then I thought "this could be it,
Maybe he's what love could be."

And though I've not yet fallen in love
With this boy who makes me smile,
I know that over time I could,
And I can wait a while.

To me, he was a fairy tale,
A myth that won't come true.
But then, one day, he smiled at me,
And the butterflies just flew.

I'm thankful for this gift I have,
But don't feel quite prepared
To live with such perfection
With a boy who is so rare.

So everyday, I smile for him
And feel the butterflies inside.
And sometimes when he enters the room,
I want to run and hide.

I'm excited for my future,
While I'm learning from my past,
But just living in the present,
Because I know it moves too fast.

So I'll take his hand with mine,
Hoping all is what it seems,
And I'll cherish it forever...
Though I'm living in a dream.
