Poems

I had a dream once

I can still picture the dream I had that night
The night before everything changed
We had talked all day. About trivial things. Any excuse to talk to each other, I thought
I was wrong. But I didn't know that yet
I dreamt that night of a world where we could be together
Publicly. Unquestioned. Just two people in love.
It was one of the best dreams I had in awhile.
But then I woke up.
Now you're gone.
And I'm here.
Awake. Tired.
Lonely.
Facing this cruel reality.
Without you by my side.
I would like to go back to sleep now.
