The Best I Never Had

I dreamed of you
with long silken
hair
I reached to hold
you close but you
were not there

I awoke with a pain
deep in my heart
A starving void an
empty hearth

You are so dear so
sweet and kind
You give and give
and never mind

Hardly ever a word
of complaint
Never a foul word or
word of contempt

Your love for others
from God over flowed
Your love to every
one you show

You love me despite
my faults
With true love which
can not be bought

How I long and how I
cry 
To have you with me
side by side

You are not here you
are not real
You are not tangible
for me to feel

You are the one to
make me forever glad
You are the best
I've never had
