Dreamland

So gently they came out

Almost a whisper of a sound

They mingled with the stillness

And a feeling so profound.



I first heard those words

Such a long time ago

But now my world has smiled

My face began to glow.



I longed to hear those words again

Bringing the winds of change

I no longer felt I had to abstain

From feeling joy instead of pain.



I said those words first

So soft yet so sweet

Magically and lovingly

Our eyes would meet.



Her reply came next

Forever to endear

As those wonderful words

Now flowed into my ears.



"I love you!" I said,

And my words echoed back

From my lover's lips they came

Precise and intact.



My spirit soon stirred

My soul was renewed

My heart beat loudly

As my thoughts flew.



Over hills and valleys

Through time and space

I kissed her sweet lips

Gently caressing her face.



My tears flowed freely

Gentle tracks down my cheeks

Overwhelmed by my silence

I was unable to speak.



Always and forever are

These moments with you

They will be like a dream

That somehow came true.
