Light
How can I be so completely,
head-over-heels in love with
you and still dream of another?
In my dreams, I see a man, an old friend,
what might have been.
But he isn’t the one that steals softly
the breath from my lungs at the very
mention of his name.
That is how I know he is no more than
a shadow, and I am where I am
meant to be,
in the light of your love.
