Daydreams

James Friedman

When she holds close I can feel both of our hearts beat

When she sleeps my arms carry her dreams to shore

In every thought of every second of every day

I thought I’d loved her up

Yet ever so I love her more

If what once was

Was once without her

Then no part of me remains

The past is gone

I’ve got her hands to hold on to

I see the smile on her face

And I’ve yet to know how I have lived before living
this day

To go on a way without her is to veil the setting sun

To submerge the highest mountain

And make a masterpiece undone

Even when across the tabletop I paint the fears that
pressure me

All she sees is my eyes cast upon her lovingly

I’m not yet whole without her

She’s a wish unto me now

A comet’s grace and luster

ever so in her abounds
