We both had the most beautiful dream last night. You dreamed about golden stars and shining moon. I dreamt about you.

Three short lines carry a small, quiet surprise. The speaker opens by saying that both people had a beautiful dream the same night, which sounds like a shared moment. Then the lines split the two dreams apart. The other person saw golden stars and a shining moon, a picture straight out of a fairy tale. The speaker's dream was simpler: "I dreamt about you."

That plain last line is where the feeling lands. After all the glittering images, the speaker doesn't need anything grand. The person is enough, and the poem quietly suggests they were more beautiful than any stars. It also hints at a gentle imbalance: the speaker appears in the other person's thoughts less clearly than the other person appears in theirs, though the poem never says so outright.

The mood is soft, tender, and a little shy. The short length and simple words make it feel like a confession whispered rather than announced.

The Poem and the Diary

The old diary that has been long forgotten, with its dusty cover and yellowing pages. A piece of paper was keeping a page. It was a poem that was made thirthteen years ago. Words tremendously beautiful, too beautiful, I would still be in love with them no matter how many years has passed. You are the poem and I am the old diary.

Writer

Someone may reads books, but she doesn't always write one or so. But another one who writes, she always read things. She reads the sky and flowers. She reads her surrounding.
