A Vivid Dream

A Vivid Dream

That haunted look, that closed off feeling…

That need inside me that does not stop growing.

A vivid dream, your careful touch…

It meant everything, though it was not much.

My eyes are open, your voice is there…

Engaging in laughter, which I cannot share.

You are going away, you are leaving me…

Is this the way it always has to be?

My heart is heavy, my eyes downcast…

I am sorry we could not make this last.

But these vivid dreams will never leave…

I can rely on them to be faithful to me.

One day maybe I will wake up and see…

That you are standing right there in front of me.
