THIS MAN...

There is this man…

That comes to me in my dreams.

He tells me that he is the one for me,

And that we will be together forever.

And I love him oh so much,

I know I’ve been touched by the hand of GOD.

Then I woke up and there you were,

I know that you weren’t This Man…

But I wasn’t sure,

I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt.

But I was wrong,

And you turned out to be That Man…

I wanted you to be the one in my dreams,

But you weren’t he and it left me sick.

And I didn’t think that I could get up,

But it’s hard sleeping on a pillow full of tears.

I know now that I was # 3,

There was your career and the other MAN.

You are the epitome of what a MAN isn’t,

And I knew it.

So I have to stand up,

And face my fears.

Guess we are strangers after all,

Another memory that came to my life.

I wish that you didn’t affect,

So you wouldn’t be a scar on my soul.

But I can’t be mad with you,

I should be mad with myself.

After all I was the one giving the keys to my heart,

And I wanted him to bring the light.

But my dark world has nothing to do with you,

And you didn’t ask for the lock.

Hell you didn’t even take the key!

I wish I knew why life is this way.

Will the man in dreams ever show his face?
