Only a Dream
by James B
I wish one night, I could come back to you
On a night with the wind blowing,
and the air still damp and heavy
from the rain earlier that evening
The wind blowing and the gentle rustling of the leaves,
the clouds shift to reveal stars all but within reach.
As the night moves on and cold descends upon us
I put my arms around you to shelter you from the cold.
The sparkling glint off your eyes
from the soft reflection of the moon in the night's sky
reminds me of times I thought we would be together, forever.
I hold you close, whispering how much I missed you
We find a bench to sit and rest
I hold you close until I have nothing more to say
I feel your warm, comforting body resting on mine
I lean down to smell your hair, untouched
for what seems like an eternity.
The sweet smell of your perfume reaches my nose
as I drift off to sleep with you resting upon my chest
You awaken, finding yourself alone and cold
not knowing what to do
You get home after a long tiring journey, not long enough
to embrace the emotions there when we were together.
You slip into your soft, comforting bed,
just as the sun is rising,
shining it's vibrant colors over the horizon
As you begin to calm down, and close your eyes
you ponder if what just happened was real,
or was it "Only a Dream."
You awaken later in the day, drowsy and tired
and think to yourself, "It was only a dream"
However, you notice your clothes oddly draped
over the chair in your room, damp from the grass
in which you thought you never walked upon
Was it "Only a Dream?"
