 THE  GAME
 by  Susan Christensen
 
 
 Let me tell you about a game I play
Where I close my eyes and fade away
 I float away to a special place
Beyond the stars and moon and space
 In this special place you see
There are only two people - just you and me
 In this place, all is right
Nothing but love, and we never fight
 In this place, there is no sadness
No cells, no courts, none of that madness
 No rules to follow, no laws to break
No bars to hold us or separate
 No one to tell us we can't kiss or touch
I don't just tell you "I love you" - I show you how much
 But eventually the game must end
My eyes must open, and reality sets in
 But someday soon - I'm not sure when
I will close my eyes and play my game again
