Dream Girl

07:12:00


You're my dream girl.
Yes you are.
But you don't get it.
You're the girl I see, in my dreams.
My dream girl.

It's the same picture though sometimes it comes by day.
Dreams come in the night but vision flashes show up when I meditate.
You're my height, though taller on heels.
You're smart, you catch me in my words when we speak.
You're funny, witty, like Chimamanda meets Princess.
Our jokes are incomprehensible, like me talking to me in you.
Everybody stares at us like buffoons, they don't have a clue.

I get mad when my alarm clock beeps
Or when my friends tap me back from wonderland.
Or maybe that was reality, making my life the nightmare.

There's a snag to the dream.
I can see everything, even our attires.
I see our kids, though I don't know their names.
One boy, two years and a girl on my shoulders.
We're grown up, but couldn't feel any younger.

The dream is so clear, that it has me working daily.
I know you like poetry, so I get better at composing.
I know you need money, so I got myself a job.
Even my grooming, I do to keep you pleased.
I can see everything, but one thing remains...

The dream is so clear,
But it always excludes your face.
The haze of snooze ville shields you from my eyes.
So when I wake this time,
When I snap out of this recurring vision today,
I'd stretch, bow my knees and pray to the God that gives dreams.
I'd say,

"Hey God.
I hope you don't mind
That I'm in love with a stranger.
So, God please grant me this one thing.
Let my dream girl,
The one I see in my dreams,
Finally become a person,
With an engagement ring.
Sitting right next to me".
