"A Very Simple Dream"

In this short life time of mine
I've had a special dream
Very simple dream, yet so hard to find.
Every person I ever met
Every one I spent time with
Every woman I thought I loved
Every relationship I ever had
Ended with the knowledge of only knowing
What I did not want, not what I wanted.
One bright day, at the end of yet another
I finally realized just what I wanted
I knew that if this person were possible
If all of my needs and desires could be
That I would have my dream
Very simple dream, yet so hard to find.
I've spent many long, lonely nights
Many troubled and tired days
Wondering if she could really be
And how complex she would have to be,
Just as complex as me,
And how could she ever find me?
I endured with pain and loneliness
I waited with excited anticipation
I asked, I begged, I laughed, I cried
Wondering if she would ever be by my side.
One day after I'd forgotten to try
A loving voice spoke to me
From behind beautiful sparkling blue eyes
There she was to my complete surprise
She was standing at my side.
Yet, it was not to be.
So, again I am in search of that dream
Very simple dream, yet so hard to find.
If there are no more tomorrows or todays
Nothing left but the yesterdays
I will know that my dream
Very simple dream, is one I can find!
