I had a dream, a song to sing~A dream last night, left me both bewildered and confused, and a little delighted of course. Amidst the heat and stale air in the middle of the night, somehow I found the right lulluby to coax me and slowly... slowly... Lalaland surfaced.
A night so ordinary, yet a dream so surreal, despite how real it made me feel when I was there. Faces appeared, faces so familiar, and faces so unexpected to turn up in my Lalaland. Yet, they did.
A grand event, was it not? Splendid, I'd say. And I was showered with attention and basking in glory. Everything was almost like what I've always envisioned, always imagined. A dream come true in a dream, however ironic it may sound.
Yet the best part of all wasn't the setting, the place, nor me, but what I was doing and with whom I was doing it with.
How could it ever happen as a dream, I kept asking myself after I awoke.
A dream is a wish your heart makes, one said.
Could it be one of mine, my heart's desire?
So close, it was. Oh, just so, so close.
But I opened my eyes, and the magic was gone.
It was a dream after all.
Then I clamped my eyelids shut, hoping to grab onto the last faint bit of the magic before it faded, gone forever.
It was like a lost child groping about in darkness.
Darkness befall, once more. Yet it was only darkness.
No sparks at all, none of magical moments.
A futile attempt to delude myself indeed.
All was back to normal, the not-so-magical normal.
The norm which at times, disappoint me once in a while.
Star light, star bright.
First star I see tonight.
I wish I may, I wish I might,
To have the dream (tonight) I dreamt last night.
