Thanks For The Fantasy
Although it didn't happen, the fantasy was fine
of candle-glowing dinners toasting our fates with wine
Although it didn't happen, the fantasy was bold
of cuddling in the night sheltering from the cold
Although it didn't happen, the fantasy was sown
of traveling together exploring the unknown
Although it didn't happen, the fantasy was kind
of walking on sandy shores exchanging shells we find
Although it didn't happen, the fantasy was rife
of building wondrous treasures enduring throughout life
Although it didn't happen, the fantasy was sweet
of passions that might have been if we dared not retreat
Although it didn't happen, the fantasy was best
of matter-of-fact living without the real test
