Lady of Dreams

Appeal to a loved one who only exists in dreams.

My beautiful lady, whom I never knew, whom I will never know.

I do not miss you, for I have never been by your side, but I dream of the day when I could find you outside the world of shadows, whose doors only open at midnight under a full moon.

There are so many things I would like to show you in this beautiful world that surpasses any dream, hundreds of places that hide exceptional beauty and that can stop a heart with the mere contemplation of an insignificant ray of light reflected in a drop of water.

There are so many people who conceal extravagant, fascinating secrets, and who will show them to you if you earn their friendship.

In this world the sun shines every morning, illuminating in colors all those who are covered by its warm protection. The wind blows incessantly, bringing scents from distant and wonderful lands, bringing with it the whispers of creatures that live their lives in places beyond the horizon.

In this world life is valuable, because if you lose it you can’t get it back; happiness is valuable, because it’s not so easy to find. Freedom is valuable, because only those who deserve it can attain it.

This world of reality can fulfill any desire if you work to achieve it, this world is wonderful and it’s the one I belong to.

That’s why it hurts that you don’t exist in it, it hurts that you’re a resident of a dream born from my imagination.
