A/N- I read this poem and I felt it really resonated with the story, so I thought I would share it.
Someone sent me an email asking me why it is that fanfic authors always seem to kill off Junior, that there are other ways to cause drama. I completely agree! But in writing this story I really needed the dynamic of Kris feeling completely alone and lost. How could she do that if she still had Junior?
No it is not that I hate Junior as a character (who could? lol). I am a psychology student in college and I find it fascinating how people learn to cope after a tragic and devastating loss, as you see Kris do in this story. I also wanted to show that the dynamics of Kris' life after that loss and how she deals with all of the relationships in her life that have now changed.
Hopefully in some way this explains my motives to those that were questioning them (without giving too much of the upcoming story away!) and I appreciate you taking time to read my story and letting me know what you think… I'm glad you enjoy it :D and there is much more of this story (and Junior and Kris) to come! Now on to the poem:
How can I tell my dreams not sleep with you?
Poem by Mike Lunsford
My eyes have finally learned not to weep for you
My arms know there's no need to reach for you
But as long as my heart tells my mind what to do
How can I tell my dreams not to sleep with you?
Busy days I find ways to keep you off my mind
Still you know you come and go about a thousand times
When the day slowly fades into midnight's deepest blue
I'll close my eyes and realize my dreams will sleep with you.
Though I may lie wide awake I still dream of you
For I won't try to fight the night no matter what I do
Is a dream the only thing I live for lookin' forward to
How can I tell my dreams not to sleep with you?
