dear "charles"...
i saw you there again last night
itd been so long
i thought youd quit coming
but there you were again
and i have to say i was delighted to see you
you seemed to feel the same
you smiled at me
oh my gosh...you saw me
so i smiled back
no...that wasnt an invite to walk over here...too late
so you did
hello
hey
and then some more in between
but right in the middle of hello and goodbye was the time of my life
you didnt mean to touch me like that
but it was beyond your control
and so i stood there confused
my arms clenched in your hands
and then the kiss
as though wed been doing this for a million years
and it all felt so natural
so wonderful
like everything ive been waiting for
the goodbye never even came
but my eyes opened
i removed my head from my pillow
i never even got to say goodbye
dreams are so unpredictable
wheres my happily ever after?
ive been thinking about you a lot lately
i cant put my finger on what went wrong
some seem to say its my fault
but its always easier to blame the other
this time though
just this once
i felt like i did exactly what i needed to do
and when i waited for that call
it never came
i should have gotten your word on it
but i didnt deem it necessary
and i guess now ill never know
i still had that kiss
i almost tasted it
the fact that it was just a dream is beside the point
and then i was left alone
it always happens i should be quite used to it
the loneliness never subsides though
not in my dreams
not in my awakened hours
never
so whether i obtain it in my dreams
or outside of them
i still want to know
where is my happily ever after?
sincerely,
ashlee
