Dream A Little Dream

Mimi... I could start quoting romantic poetry at your name. I never thought love would bloom like this, in such an odd situation, but I think it has. I'm so shy, Mimi. I want to tell you how I feel but what would you think?

You're like a goddess... You're beautiful, smart (in your own way), loving, caring, sensitive... You're perfect. I know I can't tell you-- I'm just plain old me. I don't deserve you. But a guy can dream, can't he?

And dream I will! You're lovely, Mimi. I want your face to be the last thing I see when I go to sleep and the first thing I see when I wake up. I want you to love me as I love you.

You hold me on a pedestal, Jou. I can see it in your eyes. You don't recognize my faults, or if you do, you forgive them, embrace them even, because they're a part of me. You idolize me, Jou. Why?

I'm no different than you. I'm weak sometimes. Sometimes I want to break down and cry, and sometimes I'm filled with hate, and that scares me. Sometimes I don't like myself. Don't you see? I don't deserve to be seen the way you see me.

I can tell you want me, Joe. But I'm afraid you don't love me for who I am. I think you're infatuated with the Princess Mimi, pretty and sweet and kind. You have to realize I'm not all sugar and spice, and just like you, I have my dark side.

I like you, I do. I think we could become very close. But, Jou, you have to take off your rose-coloured glasses and accept the real me before that can happen...
