I Dreamed You Were Here

I dreamed you were here
we sat on my terrace
sipping wine under the stars
the full moon reflecting
on the pool and bathing
us in soft lunar light

I dreamed you were here
singing me a love song
as we danced, locked
together, barely moving
to the song you sang

I dreamed you were here
holding me close
under the crisp egyptian sheets
your whispered words
surrounding me with love

morning dawns, the dream fades
as I stretch and turn
I find one perfect rose
on your pillowcase
