Midsummer's Dream

It was a midsummer's dream, our love
It had sprung from an old truck
And here while fixing it I found myself mending my heart
While I looked and found something I didn't want to take apart
It didn't matter much to me before
Though now I know what I've been missing
Your love to me is all I'll be needing
It was a deep black night that we sang
Our songs and lullabies, oh they went on a ride
And they echo all through the chambers
The chambers of time
And, oh I couldn't get you out of my mind
Oh, I know I was missing nothing
Your love to me is all that I need
Oh and it did run
Going from the start until it spun
Oh and it did take a fall down into it all
I regret trying to stand tall.
It was just a midsummer's dream- our love in those trees

Nothing would change us at all
I wouldn't change anything at all
And now I know what I'm missing
Your love to me

"And here while fixing it I found myself mending my heart" I love this line, beautiful use of enjambment, extended metaphor, and imagery!

classically poetic and lyrical, the reader can hear the notes in the vereses. I like the emphasis you put on the emotions, this is good stuff, keep it up!
