Dream

You stood over me, your hand on my face,
whispered to me, it'll all be okay,
You kissed my neck and sang me to sleep,
I gently fell, a feather into peace.
Then I woke up. My God, you were here,
I sat up and tried to wipe all the tears.
It all felt so real, like you wouldn't leave,
it's hard to admit that it was a dream.
I laid back down, suddenly not tired,
and tried not to listen to myself cry.
My dear, I'll sadly await the day
that I awake to your beautiful face.
