last night i lay alone,
until i closed my eyes
and you were there.
sunlight was dancing
along your fingertips,
as you reached out
to the sky, with laughter
in your lungs, and a patchwork
smile teetering on your lips.
you looked at me and
your heart was in my reach-
but then i woke up,
in a cold sweat,
to find the sun had gone in,
and we were strangers again.
