Dreams

Last night I had a dream that you returned to me.
You were standing by my bedside
All dressed up in your gear.
You brushed the hair out of my face
Softly kissed me and told me you loved me.
I sat up straight and hugged you tight
I told you to never let go.

Just as I was about to touch your face
You slowly disappeared
The alarm started buzzing and as I awoke
I felt the tears stream down my face.

Before you left for that stupid war
You promised you would come back.
Unfortunately God had other plans for you
And that promise was never kept.

Although I know you are gone
And it is hard to face the dawn
I remember all the good times we had.
I tough it out but it is still hard
At least I know that no matter what,
I can always see you in my dreams and
In my heart.
