Dreams

of this life:

Living away from reality

Jumping on salty waves

Ascending gracefully, freely

Lifeguards yelling don't go too deep

But I pretend not to hear

Because I'm already too deep in this fantasy

Living near this daydream

Click-clacking along in voguish stiletto heels, Zara bags fluttering on my arms

Pedestrians yelling watch where you're going

But I'm already too caught up in this make-believe.

Tomorrow 

Leaving the beach, the city

Friends, too awkward to hug now 

Can't push each other off slides anymore, slurp on cotton candy ice-cream

Realizing

Time chugs on, pulling out of the station

Winking through the window, weaving

Towards truth

Leaving you behind with only dreams

On the lonely platform.
