Poem
I awaken from a dream and the 1st thing that I do: Look at the pillow next to me and check to see if you Are lying there beside me or if I am alone. But once again I realize that you are really gone. In dreams, all things are possible and time can just stand still. We hold on tight to feelings that we have and hope it's real, But light of day brings truth and then we know without a doubt, That what we dreamed was something that we have to live without. I see your face before me and I think I feel your touch, It's just a waking memory of love I miss so much. I try to keep on sleeping, so I keep my eyes closed tight, Hoping that the dream I had will stay til past dawn's light. In my dreams, you hold me in your arms against your chest. I hear and feel your heartbeat and I know that I was blessed, To feel the love I felt for you although the time has passed. In dreams, our love's as timeless as the sea and just as vast. When I reach up to touch your face and know it's just a dream, No nightmare can compare to what I feel; and then I scream… I'm back in bed alone, although I had been all along. You seemed so real; I don't know how I could have been so wrong. But we know that all good things must soon come to an end. Our dreams are no exception; they're no more than pretend. My eyes at last are open and I feel you fade away. I still can hear your heartbeat in the dawn of this new day. Although they seem so real at times I can't ignore the fact, That life goes on; my dream is gone. You won't be coming back. I lie there thinking in the darkness just before the dawn, Was it just a dream... or was it real? And then, I yawn… I throw the covers back and stretch and slowly start my day. I force myself to rise and be the person I portray. I know that there are things in life we'll never understand. Like love and pain and death; and why things never go as planned. But always there…in the farthest reaches of my mind, I still remember how it felt when we were intertwined. I know that once my day is past and I am home again, I'll be looking forward to the time together we will spend... In dreams, when once again I feel your heartbeat next to mine. And maybe this time you will stay and there will be a sign… That hope is never ending and dreams can still come true, And I will wake to find that you were dreaming of me, too.
