Sweet dreams; Bitter Realities

Waking from a dream can be so disappointing

One more time I felt your touch
The way your skin was so soft next to mine
The way we loved each other just a bit too much
The way we seemed to be able to stop time

In each others' arms again, where we belong,
In that place, where I last felt strong
I kissed your lips and felt your heart heal me
You said "I love you, loved you all along"
You promised me you'd never leave
And all this joy made it hard to breathe
And with that sudden intake of breath, I found myself alone

I looked around my empty room today...
And realized, to my dismay
I had dreamt you once again
