BEEP….BEEP….BEEP…..BEEP
Ron groaned. He groggily opened his eyes and looked at the alarm clock: 7:30AM. He hit the snooze button and pulled his blanket of his head to try and block out the sunlight invading his room. Stupid blanket isn't thick enough. I can still see daylight. Ron didn't want to get up and face the day. Tonight after school was the spirit dance. Kim had fallen head over heels for the new guy, "Eric". Kim and Eric were going to the dance together.
There was a time some time ago
When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day
But now when the morning light shines in
It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh where I lay
I used to thank the lord when I'd wake
For life and love and the golden sky above me
But now I pray the stars will go on shinin'
You see in my dreams you love me
She acted the same way over Eric that she had over Josh. Ron shuddered, just thinking about it. Why does this bother me so much? Kim and I both agreed to remain just friends. Just about a month ago, Eric's family moved to Middleton. Mr. Barkin had asked Kim to show him around the school. Next thing Ron knows, they are dating. What's the Big? Ron wasn't threatened by Josh. He had a bad vibe about Josh but he had been more worried about Kim getting hurt as opposed to feeling truly jealous. But this time it was different. When Kim had told Ron she and Eric had started dating, Ron had felt an odd sensation. He couldn't put his finger on it. He'd never felt it before. Could I be jealous? Ron felt different around Kim as well. What is wrong with me? Lately, he was having some strange dreams that involved Kim. They were dating in his dreams and included some very passionate kisses. He remembered one dream where Kim was in a beautiful white dress in a church with the biggest smile walking toward him. What do these dreams mean? Am I falling for Kim? The "L" word creeped in his head. He remembered in some of his dreams Kim saying, "I Love You!" as well as Ron telling Kim the same thing. A feeling of warmth blanketed Ron thinking about this. I wish I were asleep dreaming about Kim. Ron could hear the birds chirping happily outside. Ron wanted to get up and shout out his window to scare them off.
Daybreak is a joyful time
Just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies
But, I wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees
If only I could stay asleep
At least I could pretend you're thinkin' of me
'Cause nighttime is the one time I am happy
You see in my dreams
We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us
We are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me
In my dreams
BEEP….BEEP….BEEP…..BEEP.
Ron groaned. A hand appeared from underneath the blanket and hit the snooze button again. He didn't want to get up. A few nights ago, the dream seemed so real. When he woke up, he half expected Kim to be laying next to him. He excitedly turned to tell Kim good morning and that he loved her. But reality crashed down cruelly on him as he realized he was all alone.
I keep hopin' one day I'll awaken
And somehow she'll be lying by my side
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin'
She touches me and suddenly I'm alive
And, we climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us
We are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me
In my dreams
Ron kept his eyes closed and try to fall back asleep and ignore the world around him. He heard a loud knock on the door. "Ronald, why aren't you in the shower yet? Get up, get up, get up….you're going to be late for school" yelled Mrs. Stoppable.
Ron groaned and replied, "OK, OK, I'm up Mom." Ron reluctantly pulled he blanket off, opened his eyes and jumped out of bed. Why won't these dreams go away? Ron just sighed and headed for the shower. This was going to be a long day.
And we climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us
We are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me
In my dreams oh oh oh oh in
In my dreams
