It was a hot night, with only a soft breeze to cool me. 
A mist of rain was starting to fall, I listened at it hit the roof, 
Letting myself drift off, thinking of you,  hypnotized by the
sound.
Drifting farther and farther... 

In the distance I could hear the thunder. 
All of a sudden I was standing in the garden, 
My long white gown sticking to me from the soft falling rain.
The sweet smell of flowers filling my head...

My heart races as I look out over the grounds.
I see you sitting at the end of the garden on the stone bench, 
I don't move, I just want to look at you, sitting there, wet from the rain. 
My body trembles as you stretch, and lean back... 

Slowly I move closer, not wanting to disturb your thoughts,
The look on your handsome face is breathtaking, so soft.
I wonder who and what you are thinking of, 
I move closer and closer, my heart pounding...

A bolt of lightening zigzags across the sky, 
Oh what a sight, sitting there on the bench. 
Im so close to you, I can almost reach out and touch you. 
I almost fear you will hear the beating of my heart...

I pick one of the flowers, bringing it to my nose to smell, 
My eyes don't leave the beautiful scene before me. 
Without thinking I reach out with the flower, 
I trace it over your shoulder and down your back...

You don't turn, but reach and take my hand, 
Pulling me around in front of you, as if you were waiting for me. 
Looking deep in my eyes, you pull me to you, 
The kiss is the sweetest ever, so deep and so much feeling..

The thunder rings out and with a start I sit up, 
My gown soaked through and though. 
I still feel your mouth on mine and your wet skin against me. 
Oh what a delightful dream...
