In Time

Love is My Fancy

I imagine you sometimes
Though my practical heart intervenes and it hurts to go on
I pretend you sometimes
Holding my hand, laughing in time, my safety in a crowded room
I believe in you sometimes
And hope through my tears, you’ll come true

I dream you sometimes
Tall enough and strong, dark hair in the wind, eyes sparking mine
I see you sometimes
Coffee, good books and old westerns on rainy Saturdays
I wish for you sometimes
And hope through my doubts you’ll come true

I write you sometimes
As detailed lists of must haves, wants and needs
I sing you sometimes
Begging my voice to reach you and like magic make you appear
I breathe you sometimes
And hope through my fears you’ll come true

I ask for you sometimes
Praying away a loneliness that would steal my heartbeat
I need you sometimes
A partner in this untamed dance, who’s not afraid to practice the steps
I cry for you sometimes
And hope in my heart you’ll come true.
