Sunlite Wanter Poet I do not know?

It Was Only a Dream

It Was Only a Dream

The days of rush and running;
The airport, the hugs the drive.
Our special gourmet lunch place.
It was only a dream.

The twinkling lights, pajama nights,
Planning presents, paper crinkling.
Lingering laughter, long goodbyes.
It was only a dream.

Breakfast out and you’re gone.
Time is rolling along.
I know it was only a dream 
Of sun spent days, but…

Your forgotten present lies on the couch.

Silent One January 2, 2018 at 8:46 AM Such a sad ending... Is this about loss or the end of the holiday system? Sunlite Wanter January 5, 2018 at 9:53 AM Thank you! It was how I was feeling after the holidays when my daughter drove back home.
