It Wasn't a Dream
I
had this dream.
It was hard in some places and it was dark in most
places, but something tugged me back to a better place.
I could
feel warmth around me, begging me from the edge.
And in this
dream, I open my eyes.
And I find you beside me, holding onto my
waist. I find you breathing easy and sleeping sure. You don't fear
the dawn and I don't fear this night.
I had this dream and we lost
something, but it'll be okay. With the sun, it will all be fine. And
I tell you so, tell you to set aside grief and to come close to me. I
ask you and you are there, letting me comfort you.
And in this
dream, I am able to help you.
And I find you so lovely in the
firelight, your face relaxed and your lips parted. I find you
breath-taking. You are my light and I don't want to let you go.
I
had this dream.
And in this dream, I was your rock and your friend
and your everything. I took care of you. I didn't let you fall apart.
I hugged you to me through the night, kept you with me and staved off
any threats.
I had this dream.
And in it, I was your
hero.
Don't
let me wake up just yet...
