Eyes Wide Open Poem by Valerie Daley

I see you dreamin about me
With your eyes wide open
I see that you love me
With an exposed heart
So go ahead and dream about me
Expose your inner feelings
And love me at a distance
Cause my heart is protected
Not gonna let you break my heart
Cause I’m too smart
I ain’t in a hurry for love
Won’t take a chance
No, I won’t hurry into romance
I know the consequences of giving away your soul
Of being left in the dark, out of control
No I am not bitter just cautious
Lookin at you dreamin about me
Hey, leave me be I just wanna be free.
