Just a Dream (Revised)
I hear the chimes of bells,
I smell the summer air,
I taste the icing from the cake,
I touch the embroidery on my beautiful white dress,
I see the gorgeous bride,
She stares back at me in the mirror,
I don't seem to recognize her,
But it can't be anyone but me,
So it is me.
This is it,
What I've waited my entire life for.
This is the happiest day of my life.
A silent tear rolls down my cheek,
The voice that I can't seem to silence whispering the fears,
How after all this time does he still love you?
After all the tears,
After all the depression,
After all of the pain.
Is it true?
Is it stupid of me to give in and let myself be loved?
I try to silence the voice in my head,
It won't stop me now,
Too many opportunities have already been lost.
I turn around,
Suddenly walking down an isle,
I walk up the stairs,
Now I'm standing in front of him.
He's looking me right in the eyes,
I'm mesmerized.
His lips move-
"I do" they taunt me,
I hear myself speaking,
And suddenly I'm saying the same- "I do"
I don't even hear the pastor say "You may kiss the bride"
But are lips are together,
Gently and softy I melt into his kiss,
I melt into his arms.
The fears fade away,
I feel so loved.
The voice in my head is finally quieted,
No more painful memories,
He's not like the others- he never was.
We brake apart and I open my eyes,
I try to look him in the eyes,
But he has no face.
I know where I truly belong,
But I need a face to complete the arms that I belong in.
Can you believe- It's just a dream?
