of daydreaming

People say all the right things,
make the opportune gestures,
and be everything we want them to be,
ourselves included.
Perfection is attainable,
if we can meet the right person
where everything will fall into place.

That’s the trouble,
and addicting allure,
of daydreaming.

be real

Dreaming of the impossible
the never-happened, never-will-happen.
Dreaming of a past which does not belong to me
and may not belong to anyone.

The sights, sounds, conversations, feelings,
they are too real
to be imaginary.
They must be real.

I want them to be real.
