Beyond Dreams

Last night I saw beyond the curtain of my dreams
to the memories that lie behind them
I found the canvas of memories beneath the paint of my dreams
I saw my true love sitting in a restaurant with a group of friends
I thought I would never see her again
So I went up to her and I said loudly over the din "Regan, Regan!"
but she did not answer me
I said "Regan I love you, I'll always love you!
I am sorry that I wasn't good enough for you,
I don't think any man is!"
but she went on smiling and talking to her friends
and I saw with horror that her body language was on a repeating track
then I knew it was just a forgotten memory
and I said to my memory "It's okay Regan, I know you can't hear me,
because this is just a dream."
