Dreamland

the other night
I had a dream
I was at a big party
I think it might
have been the prom

everyone was
super close
not six feet apart
people were even
holding hands
and no one wore a mask

you were there
and you
made me smile
a real smile
a big smile
and I put my hand
into yours

we were all dancing
on the lawn
here in dreamland
nothing could have
bothered us
not even a virus
we were having 
too much fun

there was food
and no doubt it was
touched by 
dozens of dirty hands
but we didn't care
it was just food

there was no worries
we were all
lost in the moment
dancing in the starlight
staying up till midnight

arms entwined
holding us together
nothing could
tear us apart
not in dreamland
so just dance
until the sun 
comes up again

I want to hold on
to this dream forever
hold it close
and never let it
fade away
just like you
I'll hold you close
and you won't ever
fade away
