It is still dream

**Still a Dream**
*By Jessy Jacob ❤️*

It is still a dream to touch your skin,
To trace the warmth that lives beneath.
Even to see the tender marks,
The quiet stories stitched underneath.

It is a dream to count the dots
Left when you shave your face so clean,
To follow them with smiling eyes
Like mapping places I’ve never been.

It is a dream to measure your chest
Within the circle of my hands,
To feel your heartbeat answering mine
In rhythms only love understands.

It is a dream to touch your feet,
To tease a laugh, to hear you giggle,
To steal a moment soft and small,
To watch your strong composure wiggle.

How many dreams have I collected?
Too many now for me to say.
Each one whispers “I miss you,”
In its own silent, aching way.

This life has made it hurt so much
That even speaking feels unreal.
To talk to you and sense your breath,
To breathe the scent that makes me heal.

Yes, you have called.
Yes, we have talked.
Yet still it feels like fantasy �"
To see your lips call me “Rani,”
To hear that name belong to me.

Perhaps it’s good that dreams exist,
So my mind can softly rehearse,
Hallucinate you in quiet nights
And turn my longing into verse.

My subconscious builds a little world
Where you are close and love is near,
Where every hug I waited for
Finally becomes sincere.

It was a dream to hug you then �"
Though chances stood before my eyes.
I did not miss them carelessly…
I waited for you to realize.

I waited for your arms to choose me,
To pull me close without a word.
Because love, to me, is sweeter
When it is felt before it’s heard.

My love, I miss you more than sleep,
More than silence misses sound.
I know you’ll make these dreams come true
The moment this is found.

I am glad you are my only one,
The one my heart has always known �"
And even in a world of distance,
You are the home I’ve always owned.

�" Jessy Jacob ❤️
