The Dream

It's been awhile since I've seen you
still remembering that cold winter day
when you held my hand and said "it's okay"
the reality has set in
you're no longer here
the enemy took you away from me

but, every night I see you
see your wonderful smile
the way your skin glistens in darkness
you looking into my eyes, staring in contentment

the door slowly opens and I see your face
watching in disbelief as you draw near
hoping this moment can last forever
my fingers are getting closer to touch you
the moment passes me by

my eyes open, tears running down my skin
wanting you here to wipe them away
realizing that I had awakened
I rolled over slowly forcing myself back to sleep
hoping that you will come back to me
