Dream

Watching you dream

Takes my breath away.

You're relaxed and happy,

Lost in your own little world,

Far away from us.

You smile,

Imagining something

Blissful.

I see your eyes,

Staring into space.

The want,

The need,

Hidden deep within.

But you don't see me

Staring at you,

Tears

Caught in my eyes.

They try to slip past,

But I pull them back,

Knowing that

Then you would notice.

When you do

Look at me,

I erase them completely,

As joy overflows my heart.

My insides flutter

As we speak,

But all evidence of it

Is hidden

By my broad

Grin.
