I WAS JUST SITTING HERE, DAYDREAMING ABOUT YOU...

Do daydreams ever come true?
Does wishing for something make it happen?
Dropping a penny into a wishing well,
wishing eyes so tight as I blow out my birthday cake candles...
Lying in the back garden at night hoping to glimpse a shooting star
And all the time wishing; wishing with all of my very being –
For if that is the case.
Surely
One day –
I will see you stranding there,
smiling back at me...
On my doorstep
And then you will whisper to me those words I have longed to hear,
Telling me that my dreams have finally come true.
And my knees shall turn to jelly.
And I will know the meaning of happiness...
For you see on that day,
That truly wonderful, perfectly dreamy day –
My heart will skip;
My mind will race
And then my little feet will run –
Run towards you –
Tears of joy streaming down my gleeful face.
I will then continue to run...
Straight past you –
and too the brand new Aston Martin Vanquish,
The one now parked in my driveway;
The one that I have been dreaming for so long that you will bring me...

Oh how I wish daydreams truly came true –

I am such a romantic fool aren't I?
