In a dream...

She's gone from me now, but still wanted in my memories running round when I wander & wonder into rest...


_ In a dream _...

(Written with parts to a dream I remembered)

In a dream, I saw you there again, standing at the edge of light

The moon shadowed in stars that were anything but bright

Your eyes beckoning me toward your hand stretched out,

wanting mine

As I walked toward you, memories fell from each step of what we once were, I'm not sure why, but by sight, I couldn't see you clearly, what I could make out was hard to define

As I met you close, I only felt a wanting to go over the edge, into the shining seemingly endless with blind reasons easy to find

As you fell, I pulled away, your hand held mine, eyes cloudy, we were miles apart in why's, too many to ignore, the only answer we had was unkind...

Grip unbreakable, emotions strong as could be

I shared my answer clearly in your eyes.....then...you let go of me

So slow the goodbye worded in tears on your face

Into the blinding light, I could still see your every trace

...such a sad smile you held all the while...

As you joined so many still searching for their way, there reasons to be

I found peace at least knowing, for your sake, you were free

The ground crumbling in such a twisted place, I backed away from a path not meant for my choice

I turned away...with following whispers of your voice

It haunts the moments I have with doubt in my actions to date

I don't pretend to be okay with what I've done, but I know, I still have a chance to move past our fate

There's still hope in the cracks of a broken dream shared by two who couldn't reach the end

Too close to our fading flame, our hour glass began to bend

Your still you, just lost in the ease of a moment you can't take back

I can still see clearly through our looking glass, out of sand, somewhere along the way......we lost track

I don't know where you are now, I only know some wrongs are right, & that's enough for me to look away

"Why" is something I know too well now, the past is where, for me, you'll have to stay
