Forever a Fantasy by Johanna Rose

I wrote this poem to use in my book. I'm sure it's not perfect, but I kind of like it!
Forever a Fantasy by Johanna Rose
I close my eyes and there you are
I open them, and you’re afar
You come to me when I’m asleep
But there’s no way that you I’ll keep
You’re but a mem’ry when I wake
My life with you is not at stake
The truth is that you’ll always be
Not real for me, my fantasy…….
You do the things that I would want
You’ll take me there, I’m confident
You’ll give to me most everything
And when you’re gone, my heart will sting
I can only love you while I dream
You are not here, though real you seem
And when you’re gone into my past
I know that you’ll not be my last
I will not stray far from the realms
Where truth is all that overwhelms
I’ll return to dreaming in my mind
And create another special find
To keep me grounded and in tune
With all the world beyond the moon
And once again while resting here
I’ll find myself, without a tear……….
