Elevated Dreams

I was wishing on golden glimmering things in the night sky
You called them stars, but I knew better than that
We held onto the bars in front of us,
Too weak to hold our dreams,
But strong enough to keep us from falling
The dark water sparkled in the moon light
Flirting wit out inner free spirits
I sailed away in the wind
And I saw us chipper strolling down Brooklyn streets in the cold
With our hearts warm enough to embrace us and shelter us from nipping winds
Then, I came back to that moment in the midst of the promenade and challenged you
Soon we ran, our lungs filled with crisp warm air, bodies flailing
Along the path, while the water winked at us
Underneath the moon in the summer’s night sky
And when we stopped and caught our breath,
And you put your arm around me
I woke up and knew what those glimmering things were
Because they had always been reflections of you
Above me, shining down and guiding me to your heart
I had been wishing on you all along
