A game

Let me tell you about a game I play

Where I close my eyes and fade away

I float away to a special place

Beyond the stars and moon and space

In this special place you see

There are only two people - just you and me

In this place, all is right

Nothing but love, and we never fight

In this place, there is no sadness

No cells, no courts, none of that madness

No rules to follow, no laws to break

No bars to hold us or separate

No one to tell us we can't kiss or touch

I don't just tell you "I love you" - I show you how much

But eventually the game must end

My eyes must open, and reality sets in

But every night I come back to you

Where I am always in your arms

Last night I had a dream.

We were walking hand in hand

On a deserted island beach,

Over endless miles of sand.

The moon was shining bright.

You looked over at me and smiled,

Your eyes so full of passion,

Our thoughts both running wild,

We laid down and held each other,

So close but never enough

The tides came in and nearly covered us

As we made pure and beautiful love,

I had never known so much beauty

As your skin in the pale moon light.

Every moment so intense and new,

On this warm, dark, and blissful night.

But as the sun rose the next morning,

You disappeared and left me alone.

I’m still on that deserted island.

Come back and bring me home...
