Maybe he was

Just maybe, I could sit here and lie to myself that this is forever

Maybe he was a dream

Well,

A dream not quite meant to come true

Not for me at least.

But one could possibly fool themselves into thinking

Maybe

Because in his eyes I saw forever

But

Just not with me

Maybe,

On his lips he spoke so ferverently

Words that caressed my sensitive skin

I should have known

Maybe

My body, a betrayer

Bending to every each of his wills.

But I see now,

Maybe

Well,

Maybe he was just a dream

A dream I wish not to awaken

A dream so vivid

I can hardly believe it came but in my childhood

My heart aches the second I wake

Each breath I take,

Bated silently hoping

Maybe

I hear his voice in the wind as it carrasses

His scent in the rain

His face, pictures in the sand

His touch in the water

Mother is livid I almost sank right into his arms

Maybe

His baritone lulls me to sleep each night

A rhythm of forget me nots

Twined and coiled with promises yet not fulfilled

Because

Well,

Maybe.
