I Had a Dream

I had a dream once… in it I saw you.

I love this dream and wished that I’d never awaken… But I did.

When I opened my eyes, you were gone.

I shut my eyes again and saw you standing before me.

You were so gorgeous.

You were a true sign of love.

Your hands crossed over your heart, as it slid slowly down the front of you.

They came to a stop half way down as you reached out for me.

I came to you in a state of vulnerability.

My eyes opened again.

I looked for you buy you were nowhere around.

I gently forced my eyes closed again… but you were gone.

I looked for you but you were nowhere to be found.

Tears welled up in my closed eyes and rolled down the sides of my face.

From that day I could not close my eyes without a tear forming… not even a blink.

Except for one time.

One night I lay down and once again closed my tear stained eyes.

Again, I did not see you… but the tears stopped.

I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling hoping,

Hoping that when I closed my eyes again you’d be there.

I closed my eyes once more and still the tears did not come.

I slowly opened my eyes again and rolled over in bed.

I smiled to myself…

Then…

I gave you the gentlest kiss I could possibly conceive.
