Ode To a Dream Lover

A thought of you, and I'm lost in daydreams sweet
Of us sharing ice cream treats, our feet in the sand to meet
The warm sun simmers down, awakening our playful side
As we laugh and cherish moments, side by side

In evening’s gentle hush, candlelight dinner for two
Favourite dishes waft their scent, music's gentle hue
Your love letter arrives, with fresh red roses in tow
Missing me already, wishing me home, with love that glows

In verdant countryside, our picnic unfolds
Tears and laughter mingle, our love young and bold
Every sense comes alive, in this idyllic scene
Our thoughts entwined, romantic, like a sweet, sweet dream

Sights, sounds, scents, and savours blend in perfect harmony
Our love shines bright, a symphony of sweet melody
In these daydreams, our hearts sung
As one for a love so tender, forever had begun.

Not even a free flowing river
Could awake me from my reverie.
