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.
