A Poem of Dedication

By Atalanta

Why can't I
Just accept the fact
That we'll never meet
That I will never have your love
Spare me the heart-ache
Of waking up and
Facing reality
It was a dream, Dirk
A dream that was so pleasant
I was in your sweaty arms
Receiving your heart-melting kisses
And believing that our love would last for all time
Wake up, Atalanta
Why would he love me?
Why do I dedicate my love
To a dream?
Oh, fuck it!
It's great to dream
Every now and then
It's great to put my faith
In someting that seems so secure
So, I dedicate my love
To you
And to this wonderful
Somehow fucked-up dream
