Last night in my dreams you drew close to me. Your whispered words, your hair that brushed against my face. When I woke up from my dream, it was all too clear that your presence was nothing but a dream. The tears in my eyes told me.

You can’t, don’t leave like this. Please just one more time, hold me in your arms again. The next time I close my eyes to meet you, hold me as I stay still in that spot.

Even when I open my eyes, only your figure is clear that your presence was nothing but a dream. The sadness reflected in my tears told me.

I try and even though I try, I insist. I insist, come back to me.
