This poem was also inspired by "To the Boy Who Returned". This time, a perspective of the male character. Sort of.

"Just A Dream"
To the girl I left behind
who's always on my mind
I've finally returned
to your precious world
I'll make you mine
I'll make this right
Hopefully by now
we'll be together somehow
I'll confess my feelings to you
that are now sincere and true
I'm now ready to say,
"I've been in love with you since the first day"
With your favorite flowers
I waited for you for hours
As I waited for you outside
I felt like screaming on the inside
"What should I do? What should I say?
Will she answer me today?"
And at last,
you walked out of the class
I took a deep breath
as I try not to fret
This is it
I'm finally going to say it
"Class dismissed"
I woke up with a hiss
As I breathed deeply with a sigh
I feel like I wanted to cry
It was only a dream
An illusion, it seems
I've imagined something
that will never be a thing
I sighed once more
as I headed to the door
While containing my tears
I try my best to face my fear
The fear of seeing him with the girl he desires
The girl that I absolutely admire
But yet again, I failed
For a tear rolled down my cheek with a trail
"I wish I could sleep and never wake up
I wish I could dream and not stop
For only in my dreams I can feel that you love me
Not like in reality where you and I can never be"
