Dream

I had a dream last night, a dream of you. You stopped by just to say hello. We exchanged greetings, pleasantries and a bittersweet embrace. We stepped into the house and slowly the awkwardness did subside. We were laughing and crying over a bottle of wine. we put on some music and slow danced.You laughed at my clumsy steps. we lost track of time. God your smile, it had been some time. You seemed happy as I looked into your eyes...it stirred up something inside me I had not felt in what seemed an eternity. We sat on the couch and talked the night away as you fell asleep in my arms. I just held you, watched you and stroked your hair. I sat there holding until our breathing and heartbeats matched into one. The simplicity and the purity of that moment was the most intimate, wonderful moment I had ever known. no party, no drink, no physical action could ever compare. Sadly, I awoke this morning. awoke alone. But last night, in my thoughts and in my heart feels as if that truly was a moment we shared. Sometimes dreams do come true.Until then, I'll have to wait. I'd wait my whole life through...if only to die in your arms
