Last Night

Last night

You were in my dream

(not a nightmare)

Hale, God! and aware

You were The One

That remembers

And forgives

That cares

Is concerned

That understands

That loved

And wants to play someday

Remorseful

Still full of joy

We spoke

About our lives

And our regrets

You asked how I was doing

You cared goddammit

And I started to cry

Broke the connection,

Woke up

To feel tears

Streaming down my face

To feel the back of your hand

This time

Softly caressing my face

To hear you whisper

That you love me,

That you’re sorry,

In my ear

It was a dream I had once. It was all me.

Love doesn’t go away

It won’t just stop

Shifting solid in time

Redirects

Toward true love, myself
