Dreams Realized

Written in May 2008.

 I always dreamed the sweetest things,

Dreams of you, always there,

Holding me tight, protecting me from shame.

I would sit alone and imagine your face,

Imagine the feel of your arms about me,

And smile a sweetly satisfied smile.

 

You’re here now, and I no longer have to imagine.

Your arms aren’t quit as strong as I thought they’d be,

Your shoulder not the right height to rest my head on.

You smell more like moldy shoes

Instead of damp, fresh earth.

Instead of smiling, I wrinkle my nose,

And try hard not to inhale…

Perhaps some things are better left to dreams.
