I Must Have Dreamed You Here

Thy love hath possessed me, and consumed mine every thought. An inescapable prisoner; handed an irrevocable sentence of love. Thy memory hath become my ever constant companion, my dearest friend. My imagination carries mine heart to thee. I have dreamt thee so close that I could almost hear the beat of thy heart. How strong the illusion and how intolerably cruel when it vanishes in the night. I languish in love and longing akin to pain. I reach for thee in my dreams only for you to disappear on the whim of a touch. Mine soul is disquieted in me; a raging storm of rapture and despair. How long, shalt I mourn for thee? How long till I hold more than your memory? Tis more than I can bear, but alas I will close mine eyes to sleep ,and once again meet you there.

Reads like a mist covering the mind with such gentle sweetness. That last " meet you there " is so special!

While in the rapture of a dream. The damsel cried a silent scream. She loved her man with all her heart. But in the mourning, had to part.
