Dreams of the night

Just for a minute, things

were carefree. A half a second

in time created a dozen memories

It's odd how the words of an

overplayed song

Can show me you standing there singing along

The smell of the ocean, or a seagull in flight,

takes me right back to an awful beautiful night

It happened as fast as the blink of an eye

Now I find myself sitting here wondering why

What would ever possess a person to fall

so quickly for another whom they don't know at all?

Why would it seem as if things were just right?

Only to end up as dreams of the night?
