As we eye
The blue horizon's bend
Earth and sky
Appear to meet and end
But it's merely an illusion
Like your heart and mine
There is no sweet conclusion
I can see
No matter how near you'll be
You'll never belong to me
But I can dream
Can't I
Can't I pretend
That I'm locked in the bend
Of your embrace
For dreams
Are just like wine
And I am drunk
With mine
I'm aware
My heart is a sad affair
There's much disillusion there
But I can dream
Can't I
Can't I adore you
Although we are oceans apart
I can't make you open your heart
But I can dream
Can't I
Can't I pretend
That I'm locked in the bend
Of your embrace
For dreams
Are just like wine
And I am drunk
With mine
I'm aware
My heart is a sad affair
There's much disillusion there
But I can dream
Can't I
Can't I adore you
Although we are oceans apart
I can't make you open your heart
But I can dream
Can't I
Can't I pretend
That I'm locked in the bend
Of your embrace
For dreams
Are just like wine
And I am drunk
With mine

I CAN DREAM CAN'T I
My name is Lady Charlotte Augusta Beck, and the daughter of the Lord Edward David Christopher Beck, Viscount of Elmhurst on Star Base 12 and my mother is the one of the daughters of the 2nd Earl of Essex Territory on Star Base 12.
My maternal great-great-grandfather was Lord John Devereux, a descendant of Lord Walter Devereux, 1st Earl of Essex but he a descendant of Princess Anne of Gloucester, the sole heiress of Prince Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester who was the youngest son of King Edward The Third.
My paternal great-great-grandfather was Lord Edward Christopher Beck who had no real ancestry but he came from a good gentry family, and it was son, Lord Edward David Christopher Beck who married Lady Anne Devereux, who was the aunt of Lady Penelope Devereux, who married Lord Edwin William Howard.
I was born in on Star Bae 12 in 2212 in the The Viscountacy of Elmhurst and it is located between Essex and Sussex Territories on Star Base 12.
My older brother, Lord David Edward Christopher Beck The Second was born in 2209, and my younger brother, Lord Edward Timothy Beck was born in 2217.
I grew up the only girl in my family, but I had a mother who loved me and she was devoted to me.
I grew up knowing Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior, Lord Richard Edward Howard Senior, Lord Edwin William Howard, Lady Sophia Charlotte Howard, Lord George Frederick Carey and Lady Philadelphia Carey on Star Base 12.
It was through Lord Richard Edward Howard that I met the very handsome Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior and although Lord Richard Edward Howard and I were the same age.
My heart was set on Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior and it wasn't for his title or wealth, because I loved him, and later on he told me he loved me too.
We started to court each other in 2224, and we got very close to each other. Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior and I had planned to be married in 2230, but when Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior told his father, Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior, that he wanted to marry me.
Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior told Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior that the son of a Duke doesn't marry the daughter of a Viscount.
Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior told his father "Lady Charlotte Augusta Beck is the great- great-granddaughter of Lord John Devereux who is the brother of my great-grandfather." Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR states.
"I am aware of Lord John Devereux' family, "Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior tells his son.
"Lord John had three children, two sons and a daughter, and Lord David Edward Christopher Beck married Lady Dorothy in 2207, and their son, Lord David Edward Beck was born in 2209, the same year that you were born, and Lady Charlotte Augusta was born in the same year as Lord Richard Edward Howard and Lord Timothy Chrisopher was born in the same year as Lord Edwin William." Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior tells his son.
"I might approve the match if it was Lord Richard Edward Howard, but he is not my heir and you are." Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior states.
"The Becks are social climbers, Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR and their only notable relatives are through your great-grandmother, brother, Lord John Devereux and his daughter,Lady Penelope." Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior declares.
"I might even approve the match for Lord Edwin William Howard, but not you." Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior declares.
"I have nothing personally against Lady Charlotte Augusta Beck. '' Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior states. " I have found you a bride and she is the daughter of the Duke of Lennox Territory and she is the same rank as you are." Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior states.
When Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior told me that we could not marry as his father wouldn't approve the match between us.
Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior told me " My father has found a bride for me and it is the daughter of The Duke of Lennox Territory."
What could I say but we were both broken-hearted, but my father found me a worthy match with Lord William Stafford on Star Base 10, and he was the oldest son of Lord David Frederick Stafford, but he wouldn't inherit the Dukedom of Buckingham Territory as his younger brother, Lord David Frederick Stafford The Second would and he would marry Lady Charlotte Augusta Howard, Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior, younger daughter and his son, Lord Patrick William Howard, would marry his sister, Lady Paulina Charlene Stafford, and my nephew, Lord David William Beck would marry the niece of Lord Charle Andrew Howard Junior and we would share the same grand-nephew, Lord David William Beck.
My children, Lord Edmund would become first cousins, to Lady Autumn Bridget and Lord David Frederick Howard through their mother, Lady Pauline Charlene Stafford and I would become the aunt of Lord Edward and Lady Georgiana and Lord George Augusta Stafford, through their mother, Lady Charlotte Augusta Howard.
I married Lord William Stafford in 2230, and we had three children, Lord Edmund in 2235, Lady Elizabeth in 2235 and Lady Anne in 2240.
