last night i dreamt
an angels face in my dreams
an angel beyond the realm of my words
but no matter how hard i tried i could never attain her grasp
slowly as the years past i realized 
the angel was a mirage
ever dreaming 
never imagining her existence

last night i dreamt
dreamt of an eternity
the angel in all her brilliance finally grasped my embrace
and when i awoke i finally realized
that the angel in my arms was you
