The Woman of My Dreams

The woman of my dreams

Is me

15 years from now

Dancing naked in her room

To the sound of Manhattan traffic.

She is stronger and bolder

Than ever before

And she loves herself with ferocity.

 

The woman of my dreams

Is me

10 years from now

Struggling to make end's meet

Because passion doesn't always pay

But it keeps her alive 

In every way that matters.

 

The woman of my dreams is

Is me

5 years from now

At a bar in a foreign country

With friends that love her

And are helping her

Learn to love herself.

 

The woman of my dreams

Is me

1 year from now

Living who knows where

Doing who knows what

In a room full of strangers

And she's decided to keep trying

Because the world is hers to conquer.

 

The woman of my dreams

Is me

Right here.

Right now.

She is tired

Ad afraid

And quite possibly aimless.

But she is brilliant

And beautiful

And courageous.

And she will learn to love herself

Soon.
