Poem in a Bottle

 

If we make it all the way 

I will show you this poem

And we’ll laugh at the fool’s hope 

That somehow came true.

 

For now I’m polite 

And playing it cool 

Burning in secret,

Making conversation 

 

Nursing a hope

Little better than a dream 

And falling in love 

With a version of you 

 

That I half invented,

Half glimpsed on a screen -

All dream, half woman,

As perfect as a lie.
