i shall come

Must I see thee, in thy dreams? Why not by day then all shall be well again. For then in the night I will no longer have to pray about the hopeless longing of the dayz ~ that have left me wondering if thou hast cast my heart away. I shall come, as thou hast dreampt a thousand times, of me as a messenger from more radiant climes, and smile on thy new world, and be as kind to thee as to others I oft be But, I cannot know thou ways and it is but torture to leave one dream anymore this way. I long to see you, and part thy hair, and kiss thy brow, And say My love! why sufferest thou? How shall we come to meet, dear, then? Say not only in thy dreams! Let us meet then, by day and all shall be well again. Ok? For I cannot wait until the night, and pray God to relieve me of the hopeless longing of the dayz ~ that have left me wondering if thou truly cares or not for me this way.
