Yesterday, I dreamt of you.
Not those dreams where
My neck meets your lips
Or your hands on my hips.
No.

A dream where you and I
Sleep in the same bed
Our hands touching slightly.
I open my eyes and you
Pretend you're sleeping
I giggle and come closer
The tips of our noses touch
I can feel your warmth and
Our lips are parted
I lean in and kiss you
Just a brush of our skins
And my heart aches.
Not because it's been
A long time since I've had
Any kind of human touch.
No.

It ached for you.
It ached for the promise
I made you
That one day I would come back,
But I never did, did I?

[One year and eleven days later
And your smile still hasn't left my head]
