I REMEMBER THE DREAM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can still remember the dream in a very vague sense.
The details are fuzzy and I don't remember all that happened,
But I do remember that you were there.
And, because you were there, I remember that I was
Warm, and happy, and safe, and loved.
And, because you were there, I remember that I
Never wanted the dream to end.
But, the dream did end, so soon, too soon.
And I awoke suddenly, confused and disoriented,
To the emptiness of your absence.
My mind told me that you were gone, that the dream had vanished,
But my heart still wondered if it could be so.
So, with foolish hopefulness, I tested the silence.
And spoke your name.
No one answered, and my whisper drifted away into the early morning air.
I sank back against my pillow and cried. I miss you.
But I still remember the dream.
