A Dream That Felt Real

In the quiet of the night, a dream did start,
A journey through a world that stole my heart.
The stars above were shining oh so bright,
Guiding me through a realm of pure delight.

I wandered through a forest, lush and green,
Where every leaf and flower seemed to gleam.
A river flowed with whispers soft and clear,
And in that moment, all my doubts did disappear.

I met a face so familiar yet so new,
A smile that felt like morning's first dew.
We spoke of dreams and hopes that we both share,
And for a while, it felt like I was there.

But as the dawn began to break the night,
The dream dissolved into the morning light.
Yet still, the memory lingers in my mind,
A dream that felt so real, so hard to find.
