Dreaming
by @Mary Jo McCauley

You'll never know all the tears I've cried
As I watch your life from the outside.
Nose pressed into the glass wishing I would
Be let in.  Knowing you'll never know I'm even there.

I want to be the one holding your hand instead of her.
To feel what it is like to be close to you.
I want to be the one hearing your voice on the phone
Just because you want to hear mine.  There is so much
I will never get the chance to say.  It feels like
I am dying a little each day.

I would tell you how special I think you are and
That you are so much more than just some far
Away star.  I would tell you how I want to know
All about you, the good and the bad.  That I would be happy to
Be just a friend.

From me you have nothing to fear.  You are
Somewhere I could never be.  We'll never meet
and it's all just a sweet dream.  I thank you even
For that.  And I know I will find the strength to
Let it all go.

Be well and be happy.  Love and be
Loved.  That is what I want for you and
No matter how the time passes I will
always care.
