constructing poetry

dream lover

I dream of you,
though we’ve never met—
the beat of your heart,
the shape of your walk,
the taste of your breath,
the touch of forever
when we take hands.

I look for you
in every face I pass,
wondering who you are.
I’ve never looked for
beauty—that’s too easily found,
too easily lost.
I look for you in smiles—
in the laughter of friends,
in the value you’ll show
for my mind,
my heart,
my choices.

I plan for you
with what I’ve made of me—
learning, growing, becoming,
more with every day.
I won’t be perfect,
but I want to match you,
strength for strength,
hand for hand,
dream for dream—
I dream of you.
do you dream of me?
