dream

you came to me in a 

dream last night.

i ran to you, 

threw my body against you,

hugged you tight,

because I knew you'd 

leave me again 

and I wouldn't know when 

i'd see you again.


you hugged me too. 

tightly.

and everything felt right.

before that, feelings of uneasiness

had been enveloping me

and consuming me

and I didn't know why.


now I know why.

i needed you.


you whispered something in my ear,

and I listened as we 

clung to each other.


and then I woke up.


your words disappeared

immediately,

but I know they were 

important.


my brain keeps searching 

for them over and over, 

but they are gone.


please come back to me again.

i'll remember this time.

i promise.
