She closed her eyes
as her head hit the pillow.
Recounting her favorite
stories and things as
she drifted off to sleep.
She created her own world
complete with pink clouds
and angel wings.
Stars in the sky that
made the moon seem brighter.
By her side was her favorite part.
A boy with wings.
Wings that were a
soft grey that fade to
a dazzling white that
sparkled in the starlight.
Each night they went
on new adventures.
Fighting together on
pirate ships,
leaping from cloud to cloud,
or nights like tonight.
Calm nights,
lying on one of
the fluffy pink clouds
and watching the stars.
Years together as friends
lead to years together
as more than that.
She fell in love
with her dream world.
The clouds and starlight,
the moon always there
protecting them.
She fell in love
with the boy
of her dreams.
She fell in love
with dreams and
the soft beat of
angel wings.
