just a dream
Walking through the forest
Hand in hand we roamed
The gloomy shadows creeping
Across the dewy grove
We heard the thunder rolling
And suddenly we stopped
Hoping that we’d make it back
To the mossy rock
It started as a mist
Just barely wetting my hair
Then poured down in buckets
Scaring the poor squirrel
We huddled close together
Walked as quickly as we could
Stepping over the roots and rocks
Across the slippery wood
It’s coming down in blankets now
We’re completely drenched
And suddenly we hear a sound
And off the birdies went
The rock comes into view
The clouds part from the sky
We turn our faces to the light
Resting our weary eyes
Looking at my shoes
Seeing your messy hair
I double over in laughter
Wondering how we even got here
But I refuse to ask questions
And I let my mind drift
And suddenly with the realization I’m hit
It’s a Sunday morning
The smell of waffles in the air
It was just another dream
That made me wish you were here
