Last Night I Dreamt

Last night I dreamt that I was a mermaid
Flowing red hair and a long green sparkly tail
You were there too, but you weren't smiling like me
Flowing red water and then you were gone
- I woke up and cried. Then I went back to sleep.

Last night I dreamt I was a faerie in a forest
Sparkly white wings and I could talk to plants
You were there too, but a spell gone awry
You trembled and shook and ran off to your moon
- I woke up and cried. Then I went back to sleep.

Last night I dreamt I was a superhero in a big city
I could fly and had strength and could push with my mind
You were there too, but your powers weren't working
They took you away and I lost you forever
- I woke up and cried. Then I went back to sleep.

Last night I dreamt you were a brave noble knight
You rode through the forest with speed and with grace
I was there too, but was up high in a tower
There were no stairs, no doors, and my hair wouldn't grow
- I woke up and cried. Then I went back to sleep.

Last night I dreamt you were King of the Jungle
You ruled our kingdom with justice and truth
I was there too, but a sad lioness
The one fight you lost and the winner chose me
- I woke up and cried. Then I went back to sleep.

Last night I dreamt you were young Montague
Banished, handsome, and ever my own
I was there too, I was young Capulet
But in this story poison was real
- I woke up and cried. Then I went back to sleep.

Last night I dreamt we were both on a stage
The light was warm and soft music was playing
We sang to each other and you smiled at me
A smile that told me all I needed to know
- I woke up and smiled and couldn't fall asleep again.
