The One..!

All my life
I had this dream
that I would meet the one
my knight in shining armour
who would sweep me off my feet
and ride away with me into the sunset

Every night I would see him
elegantly attired in a blue cloak
symbolising loyalty and trust
sword in baldric
the paragon of
courage and chivalry
riding his majestic horse

I met many
saw many sunsets
hoping this would be the one
but each time my heart sank
He's playing with me
I told myself
a cruel game
of hide and seek
As time went by
I felt dejected and weary
of the lonely sunsets
the dreams ended
I abandoned my search
lost all hope
he had won and
I had given up

Until one day
lost in thoughts
I bumped into him
The warmth in his smile
a knowing glint in his eye
He looked familiar
I felt an instant connection
There was something about him
that felt like home
he wore blue denim
washburn across his shoulder
he smiled at me and
offered me a ride on his Harley

And as the dream came alive
hope stirred in me
along with uncertainty
and fear of bieng amort
Is he the one?
I am not sure
only time will tell
and I will figure out
if this is my sunset..!!
