When your dream comes true
Sinatra is playing at the bar. The conversation is rolling on just low enough to still hear the music. I'm sitting in the corner so I can see everyone. Then she walks into the frame of site and takes a table near the side walk. She's a beauty that's out of my league but that does not matter. In a moments dream I can see us together hand in hand with hope in our eyes of a future together. I can't stop staring at her and she seems to not be about any silliness. I work up to the nerve to ask her out and I'm terrified that she won't like my delivery. I can't screw around I need to keep it light hearted but I can't let her say no. I need to make sure she knows it's all about her and I apply no pressure. OMG she's beautiful and I can tell through her mannerisms that she has a good heart. I look away for a moment and she's gone. I come out of my skin cause I feel I've lost her forever. What am I gonna do my life is over. Then I wake up and it was all a dream upto the point it was a nightmare cause I lost her or did I. I look next to me and there she is sitting next to me and I smile as I watch her take a nap.
