There is a fantasy in every letter
I write to you.

I don't even admit it
to myself
really -
it remains somewhere
subconscious...
this fantasy I have.

I'm a bit embarrassed
to even be writing this
but it's ok
no one will
recognize
the meaning
of what I'm writing
or to whom
the words
and thoughts are directed.

For a few moments
I entertained my fantasy
	to see
		and
just think what if...

I wondered what
it would be like
to be close to you
to feel your lips
on mine.

It's not often
I let myself
       explore
my fantasies like this.Anonymous
