Beloved Cowboy

I’ve seen you in my dreams riding your black horse under the moonlight. Its black mane floats in the midnight air as you ride towards me. A gentle breeze comes in and out and you are by my side looking down at me, my white dress sways in the air as we look into each other’s eyes. Little flecks of gold and silver dance inside your eyes playing tricks in the dark. Can this be right? I have seen you only at night but now you have come to me, bringing me promises to me that you will keep ones you will never break. A single stand of golden brown hair brushes in my face concealing a tear, your warm hand comes down and rubs the tear away pushing the stand behind my ear. Feeling the ground sink from under me you place me behind you on your black horse. I lean against your back feeling the warmth and comfort I have wanted for so long. When you feel my hands wrap around your waist you summon the horse to ride. We ride under the moonlight never looking back at what we have left behind.
